4-year Macomb university proposed

U.S. Rep. Sander Levin, D-Royal Oak, is leading an effort to form the 12th District Congressional Advisory Committee on Higher Education in Macomb County . Local elected officials are gathering in Warren today to call for the committee to study whether it's time to establish a new college. Macomb Community College has already established partnerships with four-year universities such as Wayne State University and Oakland University to offer bachelor's and master's degree programs at its University Center . Richard Harlan, a 17-year-old senior at Sterling Heights High, said he thinks putting a four-year university in Macomb County is "a great idea - provided it's a school on the same level as Wayne State , U-M or MSU."
