“The expected selection of Dr. Jonathan Holloway as the next President of Rutgers will be an historic move that reflects admirably on Rutgers and the State of New Jersey. Coming close to Martin Luther King Day adds meaning to the fact that Dr. Holloway will be the first African American to lead New Jersey’s State University.
