Wayne State is mentioned near the bottom of an editorial about changes the newspaper feels the state should make in order to spend more wisely on higher education. "The cost of the universities and the large part they play in the state economy argue for a thorough study of how these 15 campuses can be better organized to restrain expense and to better align spending with public needs," The Press writes. Among questions that need to be answered, according to the editorial, is "How best to protect and advance Michigan State University, the University of Michigan and Wayne State University, schools having the greatest economic importance to the state."
