Rochelle Hendricks, New Jersey’s Higher Education Secretary, appeared today before the Senate Budget Panel this morning. The topic of her testimony, of course, was Governor Christie’s admirable plan to increase higher education spending by 5% in next year’s budget.
However, it is literally impossible to talk about that without discussing the proposed takeover of Rutgers Camden by Rowan University. The merger is undoubtedly going to cost a tremendous amount of money, even though we aren’t allowed to know how much, yet. Also, Rowan has shown in their own documents that they expect the state to pick up the tab, and considering how heavily leveraged their debt is already, who can blame them?
Senator Sandra Cunningham happens to sit on both the Budget Panel and chair the Higher Education Committee. Since this merger is likely going to have to go through the legislature rather than merely the Governor’s office, Senator Cunningham’s position on the merger is going to be increasingly important, and her questions today will likely give us a sense of where she is coming from.
Senator Sarlo also sits on this panel and showed some frustration of his own.
We have no money in this budget to support the merger. There are legitimate merits to the merger but there are no dollars. Money talks. I am completely frustrated by the answers I’m looking for.
Unfortunately, as with most things involving this merger, expect a ton of questions today, and very few answers.
"There are legitimate merits to the merger" only if you ignore reality for as long as it will take for Rowan to attain a legitimate, not bestowed, national research reputation, and accreditation for a Law School from which the best faculty will have flown. This merger ignores the reality that, once students guaranteed a Rutgers degree have graduated, there will be precious little to draw students to a Most Dangerous City in the US. For a Rowan degree they will simply go to the safe suburb of Glassboro. For a nationally respected degree they will go to New Brunswick, Philly or Delaware. Rowan has a Camden campus. It hasn't grown past 500 students in the 20 years it's been there. That's Camden's real future, not the fairy tale you're being told.
You shouldn't take for granted that your feet have not changed since the last time you bought shoes. The average child will outgrow their shoes quickly. Yet your shoe size can change even as an adult, when you may assume you've finished growing. A store that sells basketball shoes can give you an accurate measurement. Your basketball shoes need to fit like a glove. Keep looking and trying on shoes if you can't find one that fits snuggly.

Now that you have read about the few suggestions we have given, you should be able to find your next pair of basketball shoes fairly easily. When your shoes fit right and feel comfortable, you barely even know they are being worn.
