An editorial takes issue with other universities in Michigan extending offers of free or subsidized room/board to students participating in the "Kalamazoo Promise" - a plan by philanthropists to provide free college tuition to students who graduate from Kalamazoo Public Schools. Calling such offers "unfair and discriminatory," the editorial says such "second tier" promises exclude "students from elsewhere in Michigan where there are no rich benefactors to hand out free college tuition." Wayne State University , along with Western Michigan University and Eastern Michigan University , are mentioned as institutions extending promises to Kalamazoo students.
