Plans for Rutgers, Thomas Edison merger are not in $29.4M budget deal | NJ.com
Quote:The budget compromise reached between Christie and state legislators earlier this week drops the merger idea and restores part of Thomas Edisonâs state funding.
I'm very happy about this, and think it's the right move. But I'd hope they would kick up some fees here and there and not simply fire people. Distributing the budget shortfall over 18,000 students I think would actually make for happier students overall, rather than having an already much maligned staff further reduced. I guess they'll probably do both though.
