A 4514 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs State Treasurer to debit from State operating aid allocated to public research university amount equal to costs incurred by institution in implementing agreements reached with certain student protesters.

This bill requires New Jersey's State Treasurer to deduct from public research universities' state operating funds the costs incurred by institutions in implementing agreements made with student protesters related to the Israel-Hamas conflict. It specifically targets expenses like providing aid to displaced Gazan students, establishing an Arab Cultural Center, creating partnerships with Birzeit University, hiring staff specializing in Middle East studies, and displaying certain flags. The deduction applies to any costs tied to agreements reached with protesters, including provisions for amnesty for those involved in anti-Semitic protests on campus. This directly affects public research universities in New Jersey that have negotiated such terms with student groups.
