Temple University President Resigns Amid Crime Concerns.

Temple University President Jason Wingard has resigned amid concerns over violent crime and dropping enrollment at the north Philadelphia campus. Wingard, who has led the university since July 2021, cited safety and enrollment challenges as a "perfect storm of societal crises" that "drastically and disproportionately" impacted Temple. The board of trustees will designate a small group of senior leaders to guide the university, while the faculty union reportedly planned a no-confidence vote for Wingard, the board chair, and the provost next month.
