“When I think of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I hope future generations will understand her perseverance, her clear-eyed pursuit of justice and equity, and her care for those people who are often seen as voiceless or without history,” Rutgers president Jonathan Holloway said. “These are the principles that Ginsburg stood for. I think they are the principles that Rutgers stands for, and I’d love for future generations to understand how they are connected in that way.”

In her time at Rutgers, Ginsburg pioneered teaching women’s rights with a seminar on the law and gender equality, according to the university. She also began to build the legal framework that helped her successfully argue major gender discrimination cases before the Supreme Court.”
