Temple U. Raises Standards to Woo Suburban Students.
Gose, Ben
Chronicle of Higher Education, v45 n16 pA61-A63 Dec 11 1998
Temple University (Pennsylvania), an urban institution, is seeking to raise academic standards and is aggressively recruiting suburban students, finding that local high schools are not of high quality. Some critics feel the institution is abandoning the black population and is recruiting white students who are more likely to be better prepared academically, live on campus, stay in school, and graduate.
