Temple University Students Rally Against Budget Cuts - Damon C. Williams, Philadelphia Tribune

Undergraduate students enrolled in Temple University’s Department of African American Studies, along with their like-minded compatriots, took to the university’s streets on Wednesday, gathering at the university’s iconic landmark Bell Tower to demand the university stop slashing the department’s budget. The group also complained of the perceived lack of racial sensitivity when it came to selecting a chair of the department, and has named College of Liberal Arts Dean Teresa Soufas as the primary culprit, laying at her feet the fallout of the funding cuts and lack of departmental oversight. http://politic365.com/2013/04/13/temple-university-students-rally-against-budget-cuts/
