Establishes New Jersey Public Interest Technology Network.

This bill (A1783) creates the New Jersey Public Interest Technology Network, requiring the Secretary of Higher Education to establish a network of academics and researchers from New Jersey’s public universities. The network must develop interdisciplinary curricula, create experiential learning opportunities with public/private partners, support graduates entering the field, and establish faculty recognition mechanisms. It defines "public interest technology" as examining technology’s social/ethical implications and using it to support public interest organizations. The bill directly affects New Jersey public universities, faculty, students, and the emerging field of public interest technology.
