In Monday’s Temple Today e-mail, the university listed the Temple Student Government Rally to raise awareness of Temple being left out of the governor’s tuition relief act as a miscellaneous calendar item.

“Temple Student Government rally:   11:15 a.m. Bell Tower. Temple University, along with three other state-related universities will not be receiving financial aid from Gov. Edward Rendell’s proposed Tuition Relief Act. Join Temple students along with Pennsylvania State University students and representatives in a rally to raise awareness of the tuition relief setback. Sponsored by Temple Student Government.”

Is the university secretly hoping that the outrage from the student body can change policy in Harrisburg and alleviate Temple’s budget problems?
