Sec. Hendricks: Looking Back to Look Ahead

6/7/2015

0 Comments

 
Trenton, NJ - The Secretary of Higher Education, Rochelle Hendricks, released her 7th newsletter featuring many of New Jersey's colleges and universities. Here are her opening remarks: "As we head into the summer months to pursue new opportunities, explore further studies, conduct research and perhaps enjoy some well-deserved rest and relaxation, the months ahead also represent a chance to reflect on what we have accomplished and what remains to be done..."
Looking back, we realize just how valuable the Governor's Task Force Report on Higher Education has been as a catalyst for advancing higher education in New Jersey. We can review some of the major recommendations and see the progress made.  Headed by former Gov. Kean, the task force recommended that the State pursue capital funding, and we responded with the first voter-approved construction projects in more than 25 years, with 176 projects totaling $1.3 billion from five funds.


The task force called for a bold new vision for Rutgers, led by the acquisition of a medical school and a School of Public Health from the former UMDNJ. This was one of the largest academic mergers ever - and it dramatically enhanced Rutgers' reputation as a world-class university. We have also improved the availability of higher education in the southern part of the State, establishing Rowan University as an exciting, rapidly growing new research university.

But our work, as the recommendations of the task force remind us, is far from finished. I am partnering with the Presidents' Council's executive committee, which represents the presidents of the colleges and universities throughout the state. Together, we are examining financial trends and possibilities with the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems, a nonprofit organization comprised of some of the best-respected, well-informed policy analysts in the nation.  

Our office will continue to address difficult, important questions about how students can finish their degrees, at an affordable price, with skills that lead to meaningful careers and fulfilled lives. We will continue our collaborations to meet workforce demands and drive economic growth in the State. We will identify better ways to promote accountability so that institutions are fulfilling their distinctive missions, delivering the highest quality of education.

We are proud of our accomplishments. They give us confidence to address the critical issues that remain. We are here to serve and make a difference. Enjoy the summer!
