PHILADELPHIA -- Temple University will pick an acting president Tuesday, a spokesperson told CBS News Philadelphia.

The move comes almost three weeks after the departure of former president Jason Wingard, who resigned amid a rise in crime near the university's main campus and after a strike among graduate student workers.

JoAnne Epps, the former dean of Temple's law school and a former executive vice president and provost, is being considered for the role, the spokesperson said.
