SCR 34 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Supports Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility initiatives in high education and private businesses,

This concurrent resolution (SCR 34) expresses the New Jersey Legislature's support for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) initiatives in higher education institutions and private businesses. It acknowledges New Jersey's diverse population - over 45% people of color, large immigrant communities, and multilingual residents - and cites evidence that DEIA programs improve student success in colleges and business performance. The resolution encourages colleges to adopt inclusive curricula and support services, and urges businesses to prioritize DEIA in hiring and workplace culture. As a non-binding resolution, it has no legal force but aims to reinforce New Jersey’s commitment to inclusion without creating new requirements or funding.
