S 1999 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes New Jersey Higher Education Student Advisory Commission.

This bill establishes the New Jersey Higher Education Student Advisory Commission, a 15-member body composed of student representatives from all types of New Jersey colleges and universities (including public, independent, county, and proprietary institutions). The commission advises the state education secretary on student concerns and annually reports to the legislature on student perspectives, experiences, and potential policy recommendations. It creates a formal channel for student input into higher education decisions, with members appointed based on institutional representation and geographic balance. The commission does not create new policies but provides structured student feedback to state education officials and lawmakers.
