Granholm guarantees funding for higher ed

Michigan's universities will receive at least $3,650 per student under the fiscal year 2006 budget approved by Gov. Jennifer Granholm on Friday. Previous budget plans would have cut more than $30 million from higher education. Michigan State , Wayne State and the University of Michigan will receive at least $8,139 per student under the new budget. This is the first time the state has worked to ensure that all universities receive a fixed amount of money, according to Ari Adler, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Ken Sikkema.
