NEW BRUNSWICK — Under pressure from state Senate President Stephen Sweeney, Rutgers University’s board of trustees will meet behind closed doors early next month to discuss the legal implications of a proposed overhaul of the state university’s governance system, school officials said.
The trustees have scheduled a Sept. 2 special meeting in Winants Hall on the New Brunswick campus, according to an Open Public Meetings notice filed by the university last week. The trustees will begin the meeting at 6 p.m. in public, then go into a closed session 10 minutes later to meet with Rutgers attorneys.
The only topic of the closed-door meeting will be “to discuss with counsel and obtain legal advice regarding the legal implications of implementing the recommendations of the Task Force on Governance,” according to the notice.
