CAMDEN — An e-mail blast to Rutgers-Camden students from the school’s administration today gave further details about possible changes to a planned merger with Rowan University.
Rutgers-Camden’s Chancellor Wendell Pritchett noted there have been meaningful conversations with legislative and community leaders to keep the school’s branding in place.
Current and future students would earn Rutgers degrees, faculty would maintain tenure, and staff would remain employees of the campus, Pritchett wrote.
“The framework, as discussed in meetings in which I participated, would give Rutgers-Camden administrative and budgetary autonomy, as well as its own governing board, while maintain our critically important academic connections to Rutgers University,” Pritchett wrote.
