Temple University President Jason Wingard Resigns After Turbulent Tenure

Jason Wingard has resigned as president of Temple University after less than two years, amid a tumultuous time at the university, including a graduate student strike, a shooting death of an on-duty Temple police sergeant, and a 14% enrollment decline since 2019. The Temple Association of University Professionals was preparing to hold a vote of no confidence in Wingard, and a letter by the school’s deans requested a meeting with the board over their concerns. The board plans to identify interim leadership and then move forward with a search for a new president.
