S 2775 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires public institution of higher education post bias intimidation statistics; requires governing board to adopt bias intimidation policy.

S 2775 requires New Jersey public colleges and universities to post bias intimidation statistics and their anti-bias policy on their websites in a prominent, easily accessible location. Institutions must adopt a detailed policy prohibiting bias intimidation - including definitions, reporting procedures, disciplinary actions, and victim support resources - and incorporate a first-year student module on bias intimidation. The bill also mandates that all students receive information about these policies and statistics through email or orientation materials. This applies to any public institution receiving state funds for student assistance programs, aiming to increase transparency around campus bias incidents.
