Northern Michigan University would receive a 0.3 percent funding increase under a newly released House subcommittee plan that gives some other universities funding increases of more than 4 percent. Wayne State University would see a reduction of 1.9 percent. The House plan will go to the chamber's Appropriations Committee, where it could be subject to change. The higher education funding proposal then would have to be negotiated with representatives from the Senate and the Granholm administration. Granholm administration budget department spokesman Greg Bird said they are "very concerned with what the House does as far as funding for Wayne State."
