Chris Christie and Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney today at an historic signing of the New Jersey Medical and Health Sciences Education Restructuring Act on Rutgers’ New Brunswick Campus.

Thank You, Rutgers Alumni Yesterday both the New Jersey Senate and Assembly passed the New Jersey Medical and Health Sciences Education Restructuring Act, which legislates that much of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) be absorbed by Rutgers. The final legislation also establishes more autonomy for the Rutgers-Camden campus without ceding control of it to Rowan University or another governing board. These changes would go into effect on July 1, 2013.
