A Temple University student frustrated with the school's perceived lack of communication about public safety has started his own Instagram account to keep his peers informed.
"I think as soon as something like that happens and you know about it, say ‘students, look, this happened, we’re going to find out who did it and we're going to stay by you guys," Mangan said. Video of the incident posted to social media and shared widely shows a man walking out of a home next door and tossing a firebomb through a window, then walking away.
Temple said it didn't send out details of the firebombing because it happened outside the school's patrol zone and there was no imminent threat. "In the last three weeks alone, the university has administered six separate university-wide communications related to either campus safety or crimes that have happened near Temple's campus," a statement from Temple read.
Mangan and Vice President of Public Safety Jennifer Griffin had a positive conversation Thursday about improving public safety. "We just kind of have to keep our heads on a swivel and just do the best things we can do to keep ourselves safe," Temple senior Annie Elliott said.
