Temple University threatens cops for promoting ‘warm clothes’ drive

Temple University police officers were reportedly threatened with sanctions by the administration for promoting a clothing drive for the needy.

The conflict is the latest in a series between the Temple University Police Association and administrators at the Philadelphia school.

Police officers wanted to promote a “charity event” to “gather socks and warm clothes for those in need this winter,” union president Alec Shaffer told The College Fix via text messaging.

He said his members were never told what the specific rules were, but they did not promote the event in order to stay out of trouble.
