Eight regional Michigan universities launched a \"We Matter, Too!\" sticker campaign this week to protest special budget treatment for the state\'s Big Three universities. Calling themselves the OUR TEAM coalition, they are upset that Wayne State University, Michigan State University and University of Michigan want to be funded separately from the state\'s other public universities. MSU, U-M and WSU have been lobbying the state to fund them separately because of the magnitude of research they conduct -- 95 percent of all the state\'s research and development dollars -- which will ultimately help transform Michigan\'s economy, they say. They don\'t want to take away money from the other 12 state universities, they say, but their medical schools, technology transfer programs and $1.3 billion in research and development operations make them different.
