AR 146 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Encourages institutions of higher education to address lack of representation of Hispanic and Latino leadership in higher education.

AR 146 is a non-binding resolution encouraging New Jersey and U.S. higher education institutions to address the underrepresentation of Hispanic and Latino leaders in college presidency roles. It urges schools to establish leadership development programs, diversify governing boards and search committees, and partner with organizations supporting Hispanic/Latino leaders. The resolution cites that only 6% of U.S. college presidents identified as Hispanic or Latino in 2023, despite these students comprising 20% of undergraduate enrollment nationally. It does not create new legal requirements but directs copies to state and federal education officials for awareness.
