Rutgers University–Camden is one of three regional campuses of Rutgers University, a public land-grant research university consisting of four campuses in New Jersey. It is located in Camden, New Jersey. Founded in 1926 as the South Jersey Law School, Rutgers–Camden began as an amalgam of the South Jersey Law School and the College of South Jersey. It is the southernmost of the three regional campuses of Rutgers—the others being located in New Brunswick and Newark.[5] It is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity".[6] In 2024 the school was ranked 48th among the top public universities and 98th among national universities by US News and World Report[7]

## History

[edit]

Rutgers University-Camden was founded in 1926 as The College of South Jersey and South Jersey Law School by a group of South Jersey lawyers led by Collingswood mayor Arthur Armitage.[8] The campus joined the Rutgers University system in 1950, becoming Rutgers University-Camden and Rutgers Law School-Camden. Since the merger the campus has expanded its footprint in the Cooper Grant and Downtown/University District neighborhoods in Camden.

The Black Student Unity Movement of Rutgers-Camden was founded in 1969 by a group of black students at the school.[9] While segregation in public education was deemed unconstitutional by the decision in Brown v. Board of Education, universities still had policies in place that caused de facto segregation.[10] On February 10, 1969, three students from the Black Student Unity Movement interrupted a political science class that was taking place on Rutgers-Camden's campus and dispersed papers that listed the movement's demands.[11] Some demands listed by the Black Student Unity Movement were "that all racist faculty be removed from the university, an Urban Education Department be established, and that the new library addition be named after Paul Robeson".[12] The movement was unable to get their demands met by Rutgers University immediately, but in 1991, Paul Robeson Library was established on the Rutgers-Camden campus.[13]

In 2012, there was a proposal for the campus to merge with Rowan University. Due to a large opposition movement led by faculty, staff, students and alumni, the proposal was defeated.[14]

Walt Whitman Statue at its new location on Rutgers University-Camden campus

On June 20, 2020, students of Rutgers University–Camden created a petition that called for, "the removal of the Walt Whitman statue which stands tall in the middle of our campus."[15] Walt Whitman was an American poet and writer, who purchased a house in Camden in 1864, where he wrote his defining work, "Leaves of Grass".[16] In some of his works, Walt Whitman referred to black individuals as "baboons" and "wild brutes" and had utilized a racial slur against black people. Many Black intellectuals have called for these comments to be discussed at the same time as praise of Walt Whitman.[17] Rutgers University-Camden addressed the concerns proposed in the petition by hosting virtual meetings with community members, university faculty, students, and historians.[18] In 2021, the statute of Walt Whitman was moved from in front of the Rutgers University–Camden campus center to a garden space on campus and included contextualization of the complex history.[19]

## Academics

Rutgers–Camden is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.[20] It has nearly 40 majors and 50 minors plus special programs, an Honors College, hands-on research with faculty mentors, study abroad, internships, civic learning, and various graduate and advanced professional programs. The academic year follows a 4-4 schedule of two four-course semesters, fall and spring. During the winter study term, students study various courses outside of typical curriculum for 3 weeks in January. Rutgers students often take the winter study term to pursue internships or work on intensive research projects.

The Rutgers–Camden's athletic teams are called the Scarlet Raptors. The university is a member in the Division III level of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), primarily competing in the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) for most of its sports since the 1985–86 academic year;[30] except men's golf and women's volleyball, which the NJAC does not sponsor either. In those two sports, the Scarlet Raptors are members of the United East Conference (UEC) for men's golf and the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) for women's volleyball.

### Achievements

[edit]

In 2006, Rutgers–Camden earned its first NCAA Division III national championship when the softball team defeated top-ranked and two-time defending champion St. Thomas (Minn.), 3–2. Rutgers–Camden set program marks with a 47–5 record and a 29-game winning streak.

In 2012 and 2013, Rutgers–Camden student-athlete Tim VanLiew won back-to-back NCAA Men's Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships in the javelin. He won his first title on May 26, 2012, with a throw of 67.19 meters (220.4 ft) at Claremont–Mudd–Scripps in Claremont, California. Nearly a year to the day of his first title, he not only defended his national javelin title, but he did so in record-breaking fashion. VanLiew's throw of 75.55 meters (247.9 ft) set the all-time NCAA Division III record for the new javelin, while shattering the NCAA Championship record, the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse stadium mark, and VanLiew's old Rutgers–Camden program record in the process.

Rutgers–Camden's men's soccer team went a school-record 37 consecutive games without a loss, a record that spanned the 2012 and 2013 seasons. The team compiled a 32–0–5 record during that time, the eighth-longest streak in NCAA Division III men's soccer history. The team earned a trip to the NCAA Division III National Championship for the first time in program history by defeating Loras College, 3–2, in overtime on Dec. 6, 2013, in San Antonio, Texas. The unbeaten streak came to an end on Dec. 7, 2013, in a 2–1 double-overtime loss to Messiah College in the NCAA Division III National Championship. The men's soccer team won three consecutive NJAC titles and in 2013 finished ranked No. 3 in the D3soccer.com Top 25 and No. 4 in the NSCAA national poll.
