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.

This bill requires New Jersey's public colleges and universities to increase Hispanic and Latino representation in leadership roles. It mandates the Secretary of Higher Education to create leadership development programs for Hispanic/Latino faculty, expand pathways for students into academic careers, and develop institutional strategies to address barriers in recruitment and retention. Public institutions must adopt diversity-focused policies for leadership search committees and submit annual reports tracking leadership demographics and program effectiveness. These requirements apply to all 11 public institutions of higher education in New Jersey, with implementation deadlines within 180 days of guidance issuance.
