The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey Seeks Reclassification and a Change in Name

The Board of Trustees for The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey voted this month to seek reclassification of the institution as a comprehensive university.  The announcement of the action on the institution's web site provides an extensive review of the process leading up to the decision.  A link to additional web pages provides access to a FAQ and more details that will be of interest to anyone considering a similar change in mission and name.
