Big State of NJ Funding Cuts For Stockton Atlantic City

In the past, Stockton University has received about $ 4.6 million in state funding for the Atlantic City campus.

Stockton University can not afford to lose more than $ 2 million dollars, in light of Stockton President Joe Bertolino’s transparency in advising that Stockton University is presently dealing with a $ 20 million structural deficit at this time.

I have spoken with Senator Polistina, who confirmed that he had a good conversation with the Sherrill administration and that he expects to meet aith them regarding this situation.
