This "Decision 2006: Endorsement" piece calls on Michigan voters to choose candidates for the "Big Three" public universities that have focused on college affordability. At Wayne State University, Eugene Driker has supported cost-cutting moves and administrative consolidation that resulted in a reduction of more than $40 million in costs during his tenure on the Board of Governors, according to the writer. "He brings a practical, nonpartisan approach to the board that\'s too often missing in today\'s polarized politics." The story also discusses Debbie Dingell saying affordability and accessibility are also foremost priorities for the Democratic candidate. "Worried about college students\' growing debt loads, she advocates for more state and federal government investment in higher education -- a stance we support." The writer also suggests that as the wife of Congressman John Dingell, her ability to lobby for funding for Michigan colleges is enhanced.
