NJ is the only state, in the top 14 states, NOT to have an IN-state supported Veterinary College. We must keep the NJ Contract Seats fully-funded. This is a bargain for NEW JERSEY. Look at the cost of starting a new Veterinary School and the costs of funding NJ Contract Seats. NJ resident students need ACCESS TO AN AFFORDABLE Veterinary Medical Education.
