A crowd of Temple University students gathered Tuesday to criticize school leadership for an accused lack of safety on the North Philadelphia campus.
"We had a home invasion, people weren't alerted about, we had robberies on campus people weren't alerted about," Mangan said. "It's alarming and Temple Alumni and students are fed up."
Meanwhile, Temple police said they are expanding and formalizing their work with the Philadelphia Police Department to keep the community safe, effective Wednesday. In a statement given to FOX 29, Temple's Vice President for Public Safety Jennifer Griffin said the university is continuing its dialogue with student-led organizations, expanding its walking escort system and will be adding eight new police officers in March.
For now, students like Sophomore Sophie Marcotte say the school needs to be more transparent about the violence plaguing the North Philadelphia campus. "It's ridiculous, I don't know about a home invasion down the block from me until weeks later." Marcotte said. "I love Temple, I'm just disappointed in Temple, I feel unsafe."
