Overview
This bill restricts New Jersey colleges and universities from using ‘cultural competency’ or knowledge of specific ethnic or religious groups as factors when hiring or promoting employees. If a higher education institution is found to be non-compliant with this rule, they could lose state funding. However, the bill includes an exception for positions where these skills are genuinely essential to the job.
