Temple will kick off a $100 million fund-raising campaign in the fall specifically targeted at financial aid, as it continues a concerted effort to roll back the cost of education. Temple wants to become a rigorous participant in the growing national conversation to address the ever-increasing cost of higher education and the resulting, back-breaking debt incurred by students, said Patrick O'Connor, chairman of Temple's board of trustees.
