New Jersey City University (NJCU) is moving to merge with Kean University to address ongoing financial difficulties. The NJCU Board of Trustees unanimously voted to enter merger negotiations as part of a state-supported initiative after NJCU's financial situation worsened significantly, resulting in a declared emergency and a $10 million state aid. Kean's plan to rename NJCU as Kean Jersey City highlights their shared commitment to urban education. This merger is seen as vital for financial stabilization and improving student experiences.
"NJCU's financial struggles have prompted a state-directed merger with Kean University, viewed as a crucial step towards achieving long-term sustainability and improved student outcomes."
"The decision to merge with Kean was a unanimous vote by NJCU's Board of Trustees, reflecting the urgency of the situation and state officials’ encouragement for a partnership."
