I thin @HeavenUniv. asked about this. Rutgers-Camden had been scheduled to construct a new building for its business school. I wrote the acting Chancellor, Margaret Marsh, and she responds as follows:
"We still anticipate constructing the academic building at 5th and Market. The site has been acquired and the old building has been razed. What we don’t have yet is the necessary bond issue from the state to pay for it. The idea is that once the state’s finances stabilize with the end of the Pandemic, the legislature will do a bond issue for higher education and our building will be a part of it. I have discussed this with the president of the Senate and I know he is supportive. But these have been uncertain times and so I wouldn’t want to make a firm prediction quite yet."
The President of the Senate is Steve Sweeney. He must not be as angry at RU as he once was, or he may figure that perhaps the Camden campus will still eventually be taken over by Rowan, as he and Governor Christie proposed some years ago.
