Student Voice

The Temple News would like to congratulate all graduates and remind students we are their voice. The Temple News would like to congratulate the class of 2012.

Open Doors

As the semester comes to an end, the Temple News would like to advocate for an open door policy. President Ann Weaver Hart’s successor has yet to be selected. A task force evaluating student-community issues and concerns won’t release its report until a new president reviews it. We’re also not sure why a survey testing [...]

Boathouse Woes

The Temple News considers the university’s proposed boathouse to be long overdue.

The Temple News thinks this [...]

Music Issue

Finishing Flights

The university shouldn’t forget about what it learned during the Bird’s Eye View contest.

In November 2011, The Temple News reported that the department estimated between 800 and 1,000 dead birds last year. Commendably [...]

Struggling services

The Temple News recognizes the flaws of SFS, but encourages students to be proactive. Student Financial Services has some of the most important responsibilities of any office in the university, yet still struggles to perform some of its most basic duties. On Nov. 1, The Temple News reported that approximately 8,000 students had their accounts [...]

Voting woes

The Temple News thinks the voter ID law is a nuisance to student voters. On March 14, Pennsylvania became the 16th state to require voters to show photo identification at the polls. The new law requires voters to produce a Pennsylvania driver’s license or another form of government-issued photo identification. The state will accept college [...]

White Paper

The Temple News believes that a lot of questions still need to be answered.

While The Temple News supports [...]

Unanswered Concerns

The Temple News takes issue with the lack of transparency regarding the details of the NCNID.
