Stockton response to State Commission of Investigation Report

The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey has long been a proponent and a leader in transparency and nonpartisan governance of institutions of higher education.

We are studying the findings of the State Commission of Investigation Report released today and will seriously consider  suggestions that  advance the College mission.  However,  it should be clear that we believe citizen-run Boards of Trustees do an excellent job of governing the state colleges and universities  in the most responsible manner.   We do not believe the creation of an expensive, state government agency is in the best interest of students, parents or taxpayers. 

We look forward to a closer examination of the SCI’s report, and we will work with the other state colleges and universities to maintain the recent advances in higher education that have made our institutions among the best in the nation.
