This bill amends N.J.S.18A:65-14 to add two student representatives to the board of governors of Rutgers University. The current board consists of the university president as a non-voting member and 15 voting members, with the majority appointed by the Governor and the remainder by the board of trustees. The new provisions specify that the student representatives must be full-time, regularly matriculated students in good academic standing, at least 18 years old, and U.S. citizens. They will be elected by the university's student body for two-year terms, with the first election structured to include one student serving a one-year term and another serving a two-year term, with the latter acting as an alternate in the first year.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the board of governors hold a public hearing within 90 days of the bill's effective date to discuss the election method for the student representatives. The board will decide whether the election will be conducted by the student body at large or by the student government association. The bill also outlines the eligibility standards for the student representatives, which will align with those for other student government officers, and specifies their participation rights and limitations in board activities.
