Members of AFT Local 1796’s leadership team attended the rally at NJCU on March 13, 2023, for Local 1839. NJCU is experiencing a significant financial crisis due in no small part to persistent state underfunding! Minority-serving institutions such as NJCU and William Paterson University need greater financial support by the state so they can continue to serve their diverse student bodies.
