“Integrity at New Jersey’s state colleges and universities is a bi-partisan concern. We support the calls for investigations into Kean University made by Senators Sweeney, Cunningham and O’Toole and thank them for their efforts to hold university’s administration and trustees accountable to the citizens of New Jersey. However, we urge them to go further by demanding a full-scale independent forensic audit of the finances of Kean University and the Kean University Foundation. Rigorous state oversight is necessary to expose any additional improprieties and insure the university is directing its precious resources into the classroom to provide the truly world-class education our students deserve. “
