Question
Temples Business School College is called FOX.Quite BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
Temples Business School College is called FOX. This College is very different than all the other Colleges within Temples.

The Instructors are not teachers. They are from the business world and this explains the problem.
They act Friendly and helpful. However, they wore Arrogant and Self-absorbed. Majority of them are very Unhelpful when Approached. The good and helpful Instructors are fired.

Most international Students are singled out and are made Afraid to speak out. If and when someone speaks out, they try everything they can possibly do to cover their colleagues back. I have seen them put a student through numerous Disciplinary hearings in order to make the student exhausted enough to give-up, or to leave the school. Making other Afraid to speak out.

FOX is making the programs artificially more difficult to improve their ranking statistics. For-instance, the FOX Management Information Systems (MIS) department keeps changing their requirements. Minimum grade to pass a class is now C+ and may retake the class one (1) time before they kick the students out of the program. This is a different requirement than the one set out by FOX school. FOX says passing is a D or D+ and students may retake the class three (3) time before they kick them out.

This shows the Main Focus of this school is Ranking and Money. They just DO NOT CARE about the STUDENTS! They Trying to Broken the Spirits of the students. They lie every time you meet with anyone. The can be from admissions office, FOX Advisors, of even the Department Chair. After meeting it is not surprising to receive a day to a few weeks later an obscure email stating an apology and a change to any agreements made within the meeting.

By their own admission Temple says, in average it takes Students Six (6) Years to finish a 4 year degree. This means so-many people take much longer than 6 years to finish a degree. All pointing to one irrefutable fact, that Temple FOX school DO NOT CARE about the STUDENTS, just the Money.

Question
This University leaves so much to be desired.Super BrilliantComputer Science
This University leaves so much to be desired. I have a 4.0 in my major as a CIS student and I have one very important thing to say: the TA's and the professors don't give two shits about you as a student. In every last one of my classes as a sophomore I have had to return quizes, tests, homework assignments, and my final grades to be reviewed and changed due to the incompetence of the department and the people working in it. They do not know how to do their jobs, they don't know the curriculum, and they clearly do not know how to double check their own work. The amount of times I've had to return assignments is beyond frequent. If at all possible, do not go to Temple.
