Operative words

Para. 1: "Effective July 1, 2020, degree-granting public and private institutions of higher education ('IHE') may resume in-person instruction of students for curricula that require labs, technical, clinical, or hands-on instruction and therefore cannot be readily taught other than through in-person instruction, subject to the requirements in Paragraph 4 of this Order". Para. 2: the Secretary "shall issue health and safety standards for the resumption of in-person instruction and on-campus operations, including housing and dining services". Para. 4: institutions "must submit a restart plan".

Enforcement

N.J.S.A. App. A:9-49 and -50 (order's penalty paragraph); restart plans reviewed by the Office of the Secretary of Higher Education

Notes

Education: colleges remained remote for general instruction from March 18 until the fall 2020 restart; trade schools and clinical programs reopened first.
