A CRISIS OF PRIORITIES
Through a research coalition consisting of union members from TUGSA and TAUP (the union for faculty and academic professionals at Temple), staff from the American Federation of Teachers and United Academics of Philadelphia, and Temple undergraduate students, we have embarked on a deep dive into Temple’s finances.
As educators and researchers, we must think critically about the information we’ve been receiving and question who benefits from admin’s narrative. Our research indicates that Temple is facing serious challenges, but these are almost entirely the result of admin’s misplaced priorities and gross mismanagement. A positive change is more than possible through a re-investment into our revenue centers: the classrooms and labs where we teach and learn.
