Michigan State University’s Board of Trustees will vote on the university’s operating budget and tuition rates at its June 12 meeting, decisions that will shape university spending and determine the cost of attendance for the upcoming year.
The board will also vote on a $27.7 million expansion to their anaerobic digester and the addition of a renewable natural gas facility.
The meeting will be held at an MSU Extension center in Benton Harbor.
Budget and Tuition
The board is set to vote on the fiscal year 2027 budget, as well as tuition.
The Michigan Legislature has yet to finalize the budget for public universities in the state, meaning that the budget passed by the board will not be informed by funds received from the state.
The agenda’s action item is not hyperlinked, unlike other action items on the agenda, meaning it is unclear what changes tuition will be subject to.
During last year’s June meeting, the board increased tuition by 4.5%. That tuition hike equated to roughly $798 more per academic year for resident undergraduates.
Renewable natural gas facility
Located off campus, the renewable natural gas facility will be situated next to the current anaerobic digester, which is also set to be expanded.
