N.J. Senate President Stephen Sweeney planes to unveil framework for university merger
Senate President Stephen Sweeney is preparing to introduce bare-bones legislation to serve as the proposal for merging New Jersey’s medical school with Rutgers University, but first he will meet with lawmakers staunchly opposed to the reorganization, according to several Senate Democrats familiar with the plan.
Sen. Loretta Weinberg, D-Teaneck, said Friday that Sweeney’s proposal is on track to be introduced June 1, and would form the framework of lawmakers’ discussions on how to combine the separate higher education facilities in a far-reaching reorganization that would affect campuses in North and South Jersey.
