President Ann Weaver Hart joined the Tribune's editorial board to discuss Temple's $1.2 billion Temple 20/20 framework plan. Hart explained the important role of feedback from town-hall meetings with community groups during the framework's development. "The theme that came out is 'We don’t want your prosperity to be at our expense' and I think that was a fair message and it was a very strong one. The second one is 'we love your students and the economic vitality that they provide to the community but can you please provide more on-campus housing,'" Hart said. "By redesigning the footprint and by increasing green space and going up as we remodel, we will be able to achieve every goal in the academic plan and the 20/20 framework without [purchasing] any new property."
