Prohibits public institution of higher education from entering into certain partnerships with institutions of higher education located in Palestinian territories.
New Jersey's S 3212 prohibits public universities from forming partnerships or transferring intellectual property with institutions in Palestinian-controlled West Bank or Gaza territories. The bill bans contracts, joint ventures, or collaborative agreements with these foreign institutions, including the licensing of research data or patents. Non-compliant universities would lose state funding for operational and capital costs, as determined by the Higher Education Secretary. This directly affects all New Jersey public colleges and universities seeking international academic collaborations.
