S 338 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires membership of boards of trustees of State colleges and universities and county colleges to include two college employees.

This bill requires boards of trustees at New Jersey's state colleges/universities and county colleges to include two employee members. These members must be appointed by the Governor from a list recommended by labor organizations representing college staff, serve two-year terms (with initial one-year terms), and have full voting rights except on employment matters affecting staff. The legislation amends existing statutes to mandate this employee representation on all such boards, ensuring labor perspectives are directly included in governance. It directly affects college employees who become board members and the decision-making processes of these educational institutions.
