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:
“The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood. He built a home in the traditional shape of the Ark, inverted, with the roof forming the hull of the proposed vessel. The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.”
