Ramapo NJ, A new scientific poll conducted by Gravis Marketing, a non-partisan research firm, shows that 16% of voters in New Jersey who know of Murray Sabrin will vote for him. The results of the poll showed that once voters were informed of Sabrin’s positions, he quickly rose to be within striking distance of Menendez and Hugin.

MAHWAH — The state agreed with Ramapo College that an associate professor violated workplace discrimination laws when she made a crude comment.
The associate professor, identified only by the initials “M.V.” in the state civil service commission’s decision, was accused of calling her colleague a “fat b—-” during a Law and Society Convening Group meeting.
The female professor who made the complaint filed a complaint in 2014, stating that she was subjected to sex and gender discrimination and further retaliation after “M.V.” called her a “bully” and a “tattletale.”
It’s not clear if M.V. has been formally punished for her comments by the college. A college spokeswoman did not immediately have a comment.
An investigation by the college’s Office of Affirmative Action and Workplace Compliance determined that M.V. violated state policy with her crude comment, but that there was nothing to substantiate the claim of retaliation.
The professor who made the complaint argued that her work has been affected because she has not been able to attend the meetings when M.V. is present.

MAHWAH –An American-themed barbecue at Ramapo College last Friday was nearly scrapped after the students’ ‘Uncle Sam’ promotional material wasdeemed “too offensive” and militaristic, according to Campus.org.
“I was told that our advertising was too ‘military and recruitment-oriented,’ because we had the Uncle Sam saying ‘I want you…’,” Ariana Rivera, assistant residence director of Bischoff Hall said in an email to College Republicans and Democrats.
The original proposal nearly a month earlier called for a barbecue encouraging students to register to vote.
Students in the school’s Republican and Democratic organizations agreed to run tables during the Sept. 16 event and get the word out to students that they should vote in the upcoming elections, according to Campus.org.
