Establishes Commission on Oversight of Public Institutions of Higher Education.

S 2146 establishes a 12-member Commission on Oversight of Public Institutions of Higher Education to examine New Jersey's public college and university system. The commission, including representatives from state colleges, research universities, county colleges, faculty, student leaders, a labor union, and a fiscal expert, will study financial transparency (like tuition disclosures), accountability (student outcomes, program quality), and oversight mechanisms. It must submit a report to the Governor and Legislature within 180 days of organizing, recommending improvements to the system's structure. This bill directly affects all public higher education institutions in New Jersey and their students through potential policy changes based on the commission's findings.
