Overview
This bill amends New Jersey law to update the training requirements for members of governing boards at public institutions of higher education. It mandates that board members complete a training program developed by the Secretary of Higher Education, covering topics like governance responsibilities, ethical standards, and financial management. The training must be completed within six months of appointment or the start of a term, with potential consequences for non-compliance, including disqualification from reappointment. The bill also establishes an annual appropriation for the Secretary of Higher Education to support these training initiatives.
