Wednesday, Gov. Rick Snyder
suggested a 2 percent increase
in funding for the state’s higher
education budget during the
2018-2019 fiscal year. According
to a University of Michigan
press release, the proposed plans
would provide the University’s
Ann Arbor campus with $320.8
million. The budget would also
provide the Dearborn campus
with $26.1 million, a 2.6 percent
increase, and the Flint campus
with $23.6 million, a 2.3 percent
increase.
The
plan
would
recover
lost funding from the Ann
Arbor
campus
during
the
2011 cut to higher education.
Half
of
this
funding
is
contingent
upon
University
milestones in areas including
research,
graduation
rates,
administrative
expenditures
and Pell Grantrecipients. The
universities must also limit
tuition increases to 3.8 percent
or double expected inflation
rates in order to receive the
funding.
Cynthia Wilbanks, University
vice president for government
relations, was pleased with the
announcement.
“Investing in higher education
provides greater opportunities
to our residents and is absolutely
critical for our state’s continued
economic growth,” Wilbanks
said in a statement to The
University Record. “We look
forward to working with our
representatives in the state
House and Senate as this
budget process proceeds.”
The budget also includes
a
recommendation
for
funding increases at Oakland
University, Lake Superior State
University and Michigan State
University AgBioResearch and
Extension.
For now, the budget heads
to the Michigan Legislature
for amendments and approval
votes by both the state House
and Senate.

Every Friday, one Daily news staffer will give a behind the
scenes look at one of this week’s stories. This week, LSA
sophomore Cory Zayance wrote about the strain put on
the relationship between the Ross School of Business and
Procter and Gamble after students made a mockery of a
Q & A with a representative of the company.
“This story was my first experience with some serious, hard-
hitting investigative journalism, s it definitely expanded my
horizons as a reporter, and was a very interesting story to
write about. The most interesting part about writing the
whole thing was choosing which Tide memes I was gonna
throw in there. I had a lot of options, so I tried to just go with
my gut and pick which ones I thought would impact the
reader the most. But just overall, I thought it was a ridiculous
situation that some tide pod memes asked by students at a
lecture would potentially jeopardize an entire relationship
between Ross and one of its biggest recruiters.“
LSA sophomore Cory Zayance, “Students’ behavior
surrounding Tide Pods threatens Ross business
relationship”

QUOTE OF THE WE E K
“
We’ve had meetings with Schlissel, (E. Royster
Harper), and Sellers and we saw that the responses were
like, ‘ Yeah, we understand,’ but there was no urgency
attached to it. They said, ‘We don’t know how we can
help.’ Now, they’ve had time to understand what we’re
going through. Now, it’s time to act, to back up their work.
This is an accountability mechanism.“
LSA junior Yezenia Sandoval, external director of La Casa
Synder suggests 2 percent increase in
funding for state’s higher education
Prosposed plans would give University’s Ann Arbor campus $320.8 billion
