SUBSCRIBER. EXCLUSIVE. STORY. 
, but I was able to read part of it:
”A Rutgers University graduate has filed a class action lawsuit against his alma mater alleging that the school’s athletic department “has squandered tens of millions in taxpayer funding” through “wasteful spending, lack of oversight, and other gross negligence” and has “harmed New Jersey taxpayers“ while racking up a half-billion dollar deficit over the past decade.
The suit, filed Tuesday in Middlesex County Superior Court by attorney Hector Rodriguez, is seeking to “halt the ongoing waste and unlawful diversion of public funds” to the athletics department, which reported a record $78 million deficit for the 2024-25 academic year.
Rodriguez, a class of 1975 Rutgers alum who was once a judge in Franklin Township, argues in the filing that the $516 million deficit Rutgers has accrued since joining the Big Ten in 2014 “constitutes a systemic misuse of public resources undertaken without meaningful oversight, without legislative authorization, and without a credible plan for fiscal sustainability.”
