UM: Budget Cuts

Michigan Policy Network discusses Governor Granholm’s proposed tuition freezes in the context of the new economic stimulus plan to be signed by President Barack Obama.  Schools like the University of Michigan are facing an extra $10 million reduction if a 3% cut proposed by Governor Granholm goes through in addition to the tuition freezes that the plan calls for. MPN concludes that the question for universities like UM  is, “whether or not to freeze tuition amid the recent proposed funding cuts in hopes to gain some of the stimulus money in return.”
