Sen. Mike Goschka, chairman of the state Senate Appropriations Higher Education Subcommittee, told Northern Michigan University officials that he is considering whether proposed funding cuts to the university might be adjusted to be less severe. "I don't want to say I've changed my mind. I'm assessing (the situation)," he said. Under a proposed Senate budget plan, Northern Michigan and Wayne State are the only universities slated for budget cuts. Goschka, who toured the NMU campus Tuesday, said he has advised the Senate majority leader that "I think it would be appropriate to reassess this thing."
