In an opinion piece, Temple president Neil D. Theobald outlines how Temple is helping students earn college degrees without amassing excessive debt. “Temple and other schools must take a larger role in educating people on the real costs of going to college, said Theobald. “We will work with students and their families early in the application process so that they understand the reality of this investment. Together, we can ensure that Temple's students will graduate with not only the knowledge, but also the financial stability, to take their place as the next generation of leaders in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the nation.”
