After a one-year reprieve from double-digit increases, universities are boosting tradition more steeply. The average annual cost of attending a state university is nearly $6,700, 11 percent higher than last year. The increases range from 7.5 percent at Saginaw Valley State to 18.5 percent at Wayne State . Spending plans approved by the House and Senate would give big increases to a handful of mid-size universities and significantly cut funding for Wayne State and Northern Michigan .
