Just got this email from the Senator:

Legislation has been introduced in the State Senate and Assembly, S2368/A2868, that would put the Lt. Governor on the Rutgers Board of Governors. This is just another attempt to politically interfere with the governance of Rutgers University.
The bills are sponsored by the Chairmen of the State and Local Government Services Committee in the Senate and Assembly so it's a serious threat to Rutgers independence. I will oppose the legislation every step of the way and keep you posted on its prospects.​
 
I took a look at the bill. It wouldn't just put the Lt. Governor on the Board of Governors, it would make the Lt. Governor the Chairman of the Board of Governors.
