Upstream, Chancellors and more autonomy for Camden and
Newark is a good thing, but it should be a BOG/BOT decision, not
legislatively determined.

I am concerned that the BOG/BOT and
President will be constrained by aspects of the bill.  For instance
governing biomedical sciences out of Newark when so much of NJ's
remaining pharma power is in central NJ and it's a lot easier to get to
Pricneton or Philly from NB then from Newark for collaborative efforts
with the bio and health sciences folks at those universities, hospitals
and institutes.

The critical issue still remains --- legislative interference with internal university governance processe
