Michigan's community colleges are seeking legislation that would allow them to offer a bachelor's degree in nursing, which concerns 4-year schools such as Wayne State University. Barbara Redman, dean of the WSU College of Nursing, questioned the need for community colleges to offer bachelor's degrees in nursing when WSU already has the means to train new nurses. Funding is an issue, according to Redman. For example, she said WSU has state approval to admit as many as 220 students this fall in its undergraduate nursing program, but in practice can only admit 160 students because it doesn't have the money to hire needed faculty. "Why would you start up a whole new infrastructure when it's already in place? We don't believe this is necessary," said Redman. "We are accredited, have the infrastructure, have the ability to take more students… I think we have the capacity, so why not fund us?"
