Temple University President Jason Wingard resigned on Tuesday as the Philadelphia campus struggles with a violent crime wave that has deterred applicants from enrolling at the school.
Temple University police officer Christopher Fitzgerald, 31, was shot and killed while investigating an alleged carjacking attempt just blocks from the campus.Meanwhile, the faculty union Temple Association of University Professionals was planning to hold a vote of no confidence for Wingard.
“While I am confident in my ability to pivot and lead Temple through this crisis, I understand, and it has been made clear, unfortunately, that too much focus is on me rather than the challenges we seek to overcome,” Wingard told“In order for Temple to overcome these safety and enrollment challenges — and all of the related issues they instigate, the campus community must work in collaboration and minimize divisiveness,” the university president added.
“He demonstrated unwavering commitment to that mandate, and his contributions to advancing the University’s mission have been significant,” Morgan added. “We are confident that the University will benefit from the strategies and initiatives launched by Dr. Wingard, in the years to come. We thank him for his leadership and dedication to the Temple community.”
