http://www.statenews.com As the state budget continues to shrink and higher education funding declines by millions, the work of a local consulting group rarely has been more crucial to Michigan universities building their case for more support. en-us Gryphon 2.2.3b-tsn (woodward)/Foundry5 Wed, 11 Mar 2009 13:34:26 -0400 webmaster@statenews.com http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/view/33929 A study funded by UM/MSU/WSU says state needs UM/MSU/WSU. WOW! That’s news! Stop the presses! And Gov. Job-Killer really is a job-creator? OMG! Who funded that study?

The data? The math? The assumptions? Have you done your own calculations? What have you found? Benefit? Loss? If so, how much? A study stands on its own. If it is transparent, any conflict of interest should show. You have alleged something, fine, point it out. A general accusation without specifics is worthless. If you see an area where there seems to be something hidden, point that out. Otherwise, don’t waste our time.

As in, they want something to be true, so they are looking for evidence to back it up. These people all just have agendas.
