Requires president of public institution of higher education to regularly report on-campus criminal and fire events to the institution's governing board.
This bill requires presidents of New Jersey's public colleges and universities to report all on-campus crimes, fires, and emergencies to their school's governing board at every regular meeting. The report must include counts and types of recorded incidents (from campus security, police, or fire departments), campus alerts, and any prevention measures taken. Confidential details (like ongoing investigations) must be shared in private board sessions, ensuring they don't become public records under New Jersey's open records law. It directly affects public higher education institutions and their governing boards by mandating regular safety transparency.
