School officials said the injured man -- whose name officials did not provide -- was found on the third floor of an apartment building that houses a Greek organization that is not currently recognized by the school due to previous infractions.
The injured man is a member of that organization, which they did not name specifically, Temple officials said.
Temple officials said that, along with the city's police, the school is doing its own investigation into this incident.
