Establishes commission to advise Secretary of Higher Education on student issues of concern.

S 1456 establishes the New Jersey Higher Education Student Advisory Commission to directly advise the state's Secretary of Higher Education on student concerns. The 14-member commission includes student representatives from all major higher education sectors (state colleges, public research universities, county colleges, independent colleges, and private career colleges), appointed by the Secretary based on applications detailing campus leadership experience. The commission must address system-wide student issues like college affordability, mental health, and campus safety, and annually report its findings and recommendations to the state's Higher Education Committees. This bill creates a formal, student-driven advisory body to inform state education policy decisions.
