The plan would give straight 2 percent increases to the state's three main research universities: the U of M, Wayne State and Michigan State . All community colleges would also get 2 percent increases. There is no tuition cap on the proposal, but Granholm said she hoped the universities would practice restraint. Mike Boulus of the President's Council, which represents Michigan 's 15 public universities, said reactions to the governor's plan are mixed. "Thirty million dollars is nice, but we've lost $300 million over the past five years," he said. "We're hoping we can build on the 2 percent."
