The Inquirer’s editorial board applauded Temple's announcement of a $100 million fund-raising drive for financial aid and noted that Temple President-Elect Neil Theobald told students and faculty last week that raising money will be his top priority. “Chairman of the Board of Trustees Patrick O'Connor said the university wants to become a rigorous participant in the national conversation to address the ever-increasing cost of higher education and the resulting student debt. Other universities should take note,” they wrote.
