Trends in college funding shortchange state schools
Legislators and the governor’s staff have been focused on the controversial higher education restructuring plan during this budget cycle, all but ignoring an issue that affects many more students and their families: state college funding.
This year’s state budget — having passed both houses of the Legislature and awaiting action by Gov. Chris Christie — provides no increase in aid to Rutgers University or the state colleges, save for a $5 million boost to Rowan University, a key beneficiary of the restructuring, for its new medical school.
