TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie flatly rejected any alternative to Rutgers-Camden and Rowan merging today, such as a research consortium as suggested by a top lawmaker Monday.
“They’re gonna merge,” Christie said at a press conference in Hamilton.
On Monday, Senate President Stephen Sweeney told legislators at a panel on Rowan’s campus that he was open to other ideas, like a partnership or consortium.
But Christie today said he wasn’t open to a hybrid or any modifications to a plan that would fold Rutgers-Camden into Rowan University in Glassboro.
