NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) Rutgers University may take over much of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey as part of a reconfiguration of higher-education in New Jersey. <\/p>\n
Experts say that would probably help with the goal of making it into one of the nation's top public universities, but there is more to be done. <\/p>\n
They say the school also needs to prioritize which departments will be targeted to try to attract top faculty. And, it needs to cut bureaucracy for students and do a better job of promoting itself. <\/p>\n
The university is working on those areas. <\/p>\n
For instance, it's using money from a capital campaign to endow chairs in some key departments. <\/p>\n
The shifts for the university come just as a new president is to be sworn in. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
