Tuition hikes in Michigan are expected to be much lower this year, as a result of the 3 percent average increase in state funding that colleges and universities are getting. Michigan State University, for example, will be increasing tuition 5.9 percent, much lower than last year\'s increase of 13.5 percent. The three University of Michigan campuses will set their tuition on Friday, while Wayne State, Oakland University and Eastern Michigan University have yet to vote. Thus far, the highest tuition hike in the state has been at Michigan Tech, a jump of 8.7 percent. According to a study done by the Senate Fiscal Agency last year, tuition at the state\'s 15 public universities has risen 67 percent over the last 10 years, while state funding has increased 12 percent. Michigan\'s three largest universities, Wayne State University, the University of Michigan and Michigan State University have lost a total of $106 million in state aid during the last three years. Wayne State is also noted in the story for receiving the smallest increase of 2.5 percent, along with Michigan Tech.
