FIVE CAMPUSES – ONE RUTGERS-NB Felicia E. McGinty, Ed.D. Executive Vice Chancellor of Administration and Planning

1956 Rutgers Becomes The State University Rutgers and the State enter into a compact (the “Rutgers law of 1956”) whereby Rutgers becomes the state university of New Jersey. The Board of Governors, with six of its 11 members appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the senate, and five of its members appointed by the Board of Trustees, is created to manage fiduciary oversight for the university. BOG hires and surpervises the President BOT has financial oversight and that includes our property and land

2006 Transforming Undergraduate Education (TUE) The university approves President Richard L. McCormick’s plan to reinvigorate undergraduate education at the New Brunswick Campus —a far-reaching initiative covering virtually every aspect of undergraduate learning and life. A single School of Arts and Sciences is established for all liberal arts undergraduates. Cook College is renamed the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, and Douglass becomes a Residential College. This was epic! It moved of from a federated college system to one University. So, although Rutgers has existed for more than 253 years it was not until 2006 that we truly became one university, granting degrees under one name
