Legislative Advocacy for NJ Community Colleges

Governor Murphy’s Fiscal Year 2025 proposed State Budget drastically reduces critical state investment in New Jersey’s community colleges, inexplicably cutting $20 million from this historically underfunded but vital sector of higher education. We need your help. Please contact your state legislators now to express your support for New Jersey’s community colleges.
