New Jersey City University (NJCU) recently notified employees about potential layoffs or demotions. These notices followed the Middle States Commission on Higher Education's approval of a merger with Kean University. The university aims to address a projected $25-$30 million budget gap. This is a second wave of reductions, after 151 employees were cut in February. NJCU will become Kean-Jersey City University on July 1.
