UM: Privatizing

Time magazine published an article about the possibility of UM becoming a private or quasi-private institution. The article quotes former UM president Jim Duderstadt: “It was the state support that allowed us to have that public character…We still promise that no Michigan student will ever be denied the opportunity to attend for financial reasons. But that means we can’t provide help for students from out-of-state. So the economic distribution for them is significantly different from those in-state.” [Source]
