The ethics complaint stems from research reports written by Rutgers professor Dr. Julia Sass Rubin.
“She has repeatedly and knowingly used her associate professor position at Rutgers University to add credibility to the argument which she’s making on behalf of this organization she founded,” said New Jersey Charter Schools Association Spokesperson Michael Turner.
Representatives for New Jersey’s Charter Schools Association argue that the use of her title lends extra weight to Rubin’s privately published work on charters in the state. And say she’s launching a personal attack due to her affiliation with a volunteer group (Save Our Schools NJ) that supports public schools.
“These are research reports and including a biography of myself at the end of those reports is an explanation of why I have legitimacy as a scholar in this area, why I would be taken seriously. I can’t imagine how a faculty member would ever not do that,” said Rubin.
