The media has covered several stories in recent weeks regarding the molestation of minors. However, there is another group — the elderly — who are probably the most under-reported. "There's a...fear that the perpetrator, who often is a caregiver, will abandon the older adult with no one left to meet their basic survival needs," said Ron Costen, director of the Protective Services Institute at Temple University Harrisburg. "The choice often appears to the older adult to be basic survival versus tolerating the sexual assaults. We must be more aggressive at finding these perpetrators and removing them from society."

Steven N. Pyser, assistant professor of human resource management at Temple's Fox School of Business, says that the undergraduates he teaches continually impress him. Philadelphia Business Journal editor Craig Ey can understand why. Ey recently served as a judge for Pyser's Ethics Case Competition. "I was impressed by their poise and knowledge," Ey wrote in his weekly column. "These students seemed to get it." As Pyser emphasizes, these milennials "offer a renewed sense of purpose that business can be more than a closed system of profit maximization."

Tasting Freedom, a book about Civil War-era equal rights activist Octavius Valentine Catto recently published by Temple University Press, was excerpted in the Philadelphia Inquirer on September 12th, 13th and 14th. Authors and longtime Inquirer journalists, Daniel R. Biddle and Murray Dubin, chronicle the life of this charismatic black leader, a free black man whose freedom was in name only. He shared stages with Frederick Douglass, recruited black men for Lincoln’s armies, played for a pioneering black baseball team and fought for equality in the statehouse and the streets. Catto and his allies waged their battles for civil rights a century before Birmingham and Selma.
