Rutgers University


Self Description

January 2002: "From its roots as a colonial college (chartered in 1766) and land-grant institution, Rutgers has developed into one of America's leading public research universities. New Jersey's state university fulfills its three-part mission of instruction, research and service by educating a diverse student body of over 48,000 on its three campuses..." http://www.rutgers.edu/about-the-university.shtml

Third-Party Descriptions

November 2007: "It has become so extreme, however, that some universities are pulling back, concerned about the effect on educational quality. Rutgers University agreed in a labor settlement in August to add 100 tenure or tenure-track positions. Across the country, faculty unions are organizing part-timers. And the American Federation of Teachers is pushing legislation in 11 states to mandate that 75 percent of classes be taught by tenured or tenure-track teachers."

Sep 06, 2006 9/11 Leaves Its Mark on History Classes

QUOTE: Scholars disagree on the direction of the reframing of American history, sometimes along ideological lines. While many historians say 9/11 accelerated a push toward “internationalizing” American history — looking at what Thomas Bender, a professor of history at New York University, called “a common history with common causes for central events in American history” — some others said 9/11 had renewed their interest in an almost opposite idea, that of American exceptionalism.
