Keep in mind, as you read this column, that The Dome is your newspaper.

The article claimed that Temple is EXPERIENCE TO A the only university in the "area" that effectively "pre pares" students for careers in the Hospitality field. The claim is false. misleading, and deceitful. Obviously, TEAM Temple is not the only school to have such a program in the "area," as the writer points out.
