Granholm proposes $100M cut to higher ed funding

Of course Mr. Robert Emerson knows that the proposed cuts will not be popular… because he knows they are wrong!! At least for higher ed.

It is OBVIOUS that higher ed is the future of this economy. It is obvious in the investment that MSU and U-M have made in the State by attracting corporations like IBM, federal funding in the FRIB, taking over a Phizer plant in Holland, MI, and another plant in AA.

If tomorrow these two universities decided to go private, this State would be useless, with the exceptions of EL and AA. Oh well, it looks like Granholm keeps giving the U Presidents permission to keep raising tuition. Granholm reminds me of Bush in he last months in power… moron, useless, careless…

either way…

GO GREEN!!

Too bad the Pfizer plant in AA is completely shut down. Too bad nobody has money to do anything right now.

jenny from the block continues to follow the liberal creed of “cut and run”

That’s the conservative creed. The liberal creed “tax and spend.” Duh.

This is not good. It only means higher tuition, more layoffs, and more crowded classrooms. Scary.

I don’t think this will cause crowded classrooms since tuition will be raised to sustain professors and some students will not be able to pay for college so they will probably leave school, or transfer.

So I don’t think its that dramatic, not even scary. It is, I would say, frustrating to see how Granholm keeps pushing MSU, U-M and Wayne away. These are the heart of this State.

As an out of stater, I say..let’s go private! tuition will be higher but quality probably improves.

Every term is a struggle for me, Are you telling me that not only attending college to make life good for myself is all for nothing? There are many people who are now going back to college to make sure they come out of this recession/depression/whatever anyone chooses to call it; this decision based upon that fact? PLEASE correct me if I’m wrong . . A North American Indian who does not wish to lose another battle.

Way to go Granholm! so much for your commitment to making college affordable and stopping endless tuition increases! But I guess on the other hand, we’re already the worst state in higher education funding, so its not like we’re gonna sink any lower in the rankings.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, it’s a great year to be graduating.

Great way to further Michigan’s leap into the Tech revolution that you tout as necessary for our future economic recovery Jenny.

This governor is a loser. Education should be a top priority. Stop the useless street scape projects and all the other waste of money projects the state seems to find. It is the universities of this state that will be needed to retool and revamp the Michigan economy. this governor doesn’t get it. This is just the beginning. Wait until the shi.. hits the fan when the federal gov.tanks with all its bail out mess.

Hey folks, why hasn’t the legislators helped out. Everyone has given somthing back with the exception of them! They could start by giving back their 38% increase they allowed several years ago. They could give up 10% of their wages like Granholm and her top Dept. heads have. They could scale back on their health benefits and if that proposal EVER gets through, it is not suppose to be initiated until 2010. What a bunch of____.I would very much agree that Education should be continuiously funded, but look who’s allowing it to happen due to their own greed!

There’s some buzz about a march on the capitol Sat Feb 28 at 2:00.
We need to let the people in charge know that we will not stand for their lack of sacrifice in this matter. If you’re truely angry—show up with signs showing your displeasure! I know it may be difficult to do but if someone knows what UofM’s shool paper is, let them know. This affects ALL of Michigans higher education institutions.
