Proposed Merger With Rutgers
In March 2010, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie proposed merging Thomas Edison State College into Rutgers. After thoughtful consideration and reflection by the governor and the legislature, a consensus was reached that the merger proposal would not go forward. On June 29, 2010, the governor, the legislative leadership in both houses, and of both parties, concurred with Thomas Edison State College’s view that the public interest was best served by maintaining the autonomy and special mission of both Rutgers and Thomas Edison State College.

Famous quotes containing the word proposed:
“It is not always possible to predict the response of a doting Jewish mother. Witness the occasion on which the late piano virtuoso Oscar Levant telephoned his mother with some important news. He had proposed to his beloved and been accepted. Replied Mother Levant: “Good, Oscar, I’m happy to hear it. But did you practice today?””
