GLASSBORO – A Rutgers Camden alumnus today said the power over the proposed merger with Rowan University rests with the Legislature, not with any executive order from the Governor.
Timothy Farrow, treasurer of the Rutgers University Alumni Association, told a joint Senate/Assembly Higher Education Committee at Rowan here that the recent court ruling that overturned the governor’s attempt to abolish the Council on Affordable Housing relied on the same legal basis.

He told the committee that the law is clear that no executive order could force this reorganization.
