Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and remanded, holding that genuine issues of fact exist as to whether Rutgers created enforceable individual agreements guaranteeing calendar‑year appointments and that such agreements are not automatically superseded by the collective bargaining agreement. The Court also rejected the characterization of the dispute as a matter of managerial prerogative and affirmed that the grievance procedure does not bar judicial review.
