This newspaper reprinted an editorial from the Lansing State Journal that talks about "the flurry of tuition increases" at universities around the state. "It's easy to get hung up on numbers - Wayne State 's 18.5 percent, Michigan State 's 9.3 percent to 13.5 percent plan and Central Michigan 's 19 percent bump for incoming freshman," the editorial says. The newspaper lauds Central Michigan for agreeing to freeze tuition at the same level for incoming freshmen for the next five years.
