Requires Secretary of Higher Education and public institutions of higher education to develop programs for improving Hispanic and Latino representation in higher education leadership positions.

S 3642 requires New Jersey's Secretary of Higher Education and public colleges/universities to create programs improving Hispanic and Latino representation in leadership roles. It mandates targeted leadership development for Hispanic/Latino faculty, pathways for undergraduates into academic careers, and strategies to address barriers in recruitment and retention. Public institutions must implement diversity-focused hiring policies for leadership positions and submit annual reports tracking leadership diversity composition. The bill directly affects Hispanic and Latino faculty/staff at New Jersey's public higher education institutions and requires annual reporting to the Secretary of Higher Education.
