Summary

The Academic Freedom in Higher Education Protection Act would let New Jersey colleges and universities make curriculum, hiring, admissions and program decisions without direction from the governor’s office or other state agencies. It also guarantees faculty the right to teach, research, create and publish without state interference. The law creates a court process for anyone to sue if those rights are violated.
