Establishes Council of Women in Higher Education in Department of State to study and promote women's issues within institutions of higher education.

This bill establishes the Council of Women in Higher Education within New Jersey's Department of State, composed of 39 members appointed by public, independent, and county colleges. The council will review and recommend improvements to women-focused programs at colleges, compile data on women's employment and course offerings, and create K-12 outreach initiatives to advance women's opportunities in higher education. It must publish an annual report detailing its goals, progress, and recommendations to state education leaders like the Secretary of Higher Education. The council directly affects all New Jersey colleges and universities by addressing gaps in women's representation and programming.
