Asked Monday about a measure giving eminent domain powers to a new Rutgers-Camden and Rowan University joint board of governors, Gov. Christie said he was unaware of such a proposal.

“If a bill like that comes to my desk, I’ll have to take a close look at it,” Christie said, fielding a call from a listener on NJ 101.5’s Ask the Governor radio program. “I haven’t heard anything at this point about eminent domain being given to a university – I don’t think that’s the way it works.”

However, Christie signed the bill into law last month.
