In an opinion piece, Temple President Ann Weaver Hart affirmed Temple's commitment to ensuring diversity in the campus construction workforce. “Here are the facts: We have made clear to the...general contractor, our expectations for diverse representation, and they have agreed to work with their subcontractors to meet or exceed them,” she said. Temple has established a goal of exceeding city requirements, by requiring a minimum of 35 percent participation by minority and women-owned businesses.
