Once celebrated as the Temple University’s “First Black President,” Jason Wingard just resigned in the face of a no confidence vote.
Wingard was hired in July 2021. Today will be his last day. Wingard was under fire for declining enrollment caused by surging on campus crime.
The campus police department shows that students are being assaulted or robbed daily. The city of Philadelphia has allowed violent crime to explode in general.
