Across the country, we are witnessing a rise in incidents of antisemitism, Islamophobia and other acts of hatred. Such acts are inconsistent with Temple University’s mission and values. Our community is strengthened by its commitment to tolerance, empathy and compassion. 

We are dedicated to supporting every member of our community, especially during times of crisis. University resources are available to the entire Temple community, and we encourage you to seek the support and help you need.   

Dean of Students

The Office of the Dean of Students can provide guidance and connect all students to campus resources. This office has also reached out individually and is coordinating with other offices across campus to support potentially impacted students.

Our Student Conduct Code outlines the expectations and responsibilities of every member of our community. All students are encouraged to review the code and remember that it is in place to ensure a safe and community-minded learning environment for all. If you have questions about the Student Conduct Code, or to report possible violations of the code, contact Student Conduct and Community Standards or the Dean of Students.
