UM: Funding

The Detroit News reports that all three presidents of the University Research Corridor, including UM’s Mary Sue Coleman, testified Tuesday before the state’s House Appropriations Subcommittee on Higher Education, urging the state legislature to invest more in higher education. The testimony “comes amid the backdrop of Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s call for a tuition freeze at the state’s 15 public universities and her recommendation for a 3 percent appropriations decrease to the institutions.” [Source]
