Opponents of Rider University’s planned sale of Westminster Choir College have asked Attorney General Gurbir Grewal to help resolve a dispute over the pending deal.

Pursuant to his authority to supervise charitable funds, Grewal is named as a defendant in a suit by alumni, faculty and other supporters of Westminster that was filed in Mercer County Superior Court on Oct. 18. Rider’s plan to sell Westminster and its 23-acre campus in Princeton to Kaiwen Education would go against the intent of a donor who gave the land to Westminster in 1935, according to the suit, McMorris v. Rider University.
