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

2. Context of the Campus
Rutgers was founded in 1766 as one of the nine Colonial Colleges
Today we celebrate 253 years of existence and impact
The campus is:
geographically dispersed and diverse
The size of a mid-sized city
Dependent on mass transportation to move about and relies on a network of public roadways
The Raritan River is a central feature of the region & campus

3. The Evolution of a Complex Campus
New Brunswick campus grew on an ad hoc basis and by opportunity
Not the product of a grand vision
Centralized planning is a relatively new phenomenon
Establishment of multiple colleges and rapid growth create problems
Academic realignment has streamlined the organization, still there is work to be done.

Old Queens – through the work of Rutgers historians and students as part of the Scarlet and Black project, we know know the name of the slave who laid the foundation of the Old Queens building. His name was Will
Rutgers is known as the birthplace of college football, 1869 we played Princeton and won!
With the Act of 56 we became the State University of NJ and were recognized as a landgrant institution
The Integration of UMDNJ is still the largest merger in the history of higher ed

6. 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

7. 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
