TRENTON – New Jersey colleges are making plans to address the impact of pandemic-driven learning loss on student readiness and even the debt they’ll take on earning a degree.

Rutgers University President Jonathan Holloway wrote Wednesday in an op-ed for the
New York Times about the Left s favorite fantasy that to be a Trump supporter, especially one who was in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, 2021, is to be a white supremacist.
