College race winners will face challenges

In a story about the race for board seats at Michigan's three largest research universities, the winners will face issues from tuition rates and major capital expenditures to luxury boxes at the University of Michigan stadium. Democrat Eugene Driker, who is seeking reelection to Wayne State University's Board of Governors, says the tuition increases were necessary because of cuts. "If you don't have modern laboratories and modern equipment and top-notch faculty you are really fooling yourself and the students by pretending you are giving them a top-notch education." It is also noted in the story that Republican Elizabeth Hardy is not seeking re-election to WSU's Board of Governors. A sidebar is included of candidate biographies.
