Across the country, we are witnessing a rise in incidents of antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-Arab bias, anti-Israeli bias, 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.
