Public hearing on Rutgers-UMDNJ merger set for next week
While legislators and university officials meet behind closed doors to negotiate a compromise, the public will get a chance next week to weigh in on the proposed restructuring of New Jersey’s higher education system.
State Sen. Ronald Rice (D-Newark) will host a hearing at 10 a.m. Tuesday at Newark City Hall to focus on how health care in the state’s largest city will be affected by the proposed merger of Rutgers University and parts of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
“We’re bringing folks to the table because we know that this has a much wider impact than just the status of higher education in New Jersey,” Rice said. (Heyboer, The Star-Ledger)
