Recently, the sudden death of Temple University President JoAnne Epps rocked the college community.
as the university continues its search for another president. This is Englert's third time leading the university after previously serving as president and interim president.
On Thursday, he spoke to Action News about some of the challenges the campus faces as it seeks to move forward from a difficult year."That's just been so heartbreaking for us. In fact, today is the one-month anniversary," he said, adding that he will continue the plans that Epps set into motion during her five months as president.
"We recognize as an institution that public safety includes both the campus and surrounding area, which we call the patrol area," he said.Policing, though, is only half of the safety solution according to Englert. The other half involves what he calls a holistic approach to safety. "It's the holistic side that's so important because that looks at dealing with the social, economic, and environmental determinants of crime and violence," he said.That's why Temple will focus on providing resources for the community outside of campus. The university will have those resources on hand to refer to community members who need anything, from job certification to education and other factors that can help improve a person's quality of life.
Of the potential next Temple University president he said, "It would be nice to have someone who likes Philadelphia. And absolutely essential, somebody who loves the Phillies. Without a doubt!"
