July 13, 2016225 N.J. 533
Summary
The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the Board of Nursing’s interpretation of “graduating class” under N.J.A.C.13:37‑1.3(c)(2) was plainly unreasonable, requiring the pass‑rate to be calculated based on students who graduated in a given calendar year and took the licensing exam that same year. Accordingly, the Board’s denial of accreditation was unsupported, the Appellate Division’s judgment was reversed, and the matter was remanded for further proceedings.
