Harvey Hollins III, Wayne State University vice president for government and community relations, is quoted extensively in a story about the coalition of Michigan universities, a group organized to oppose a proposal by Gov. Jennifer Granholm to split off the big three universities -- the University of Michigan, Michigan State University and Wayne State University -- from the higher education funding bill. Hollins said that the three research universities are significantly different than the other 12 Michigan public universities. \"What\'s doing this is the economy and what we\'re saying to the legislature on state funding is that we are concerned they are comparing apples to oranges.\" Greg Rosine, vice president of legislative affairs for Western Michigan University, also was quoted in the story. He said he agrees that the big three are different, but added that there are 15 universities and each is distinct from the other. Hollins pointed out that the big three universities each have a medical school and support major research operations that incur costs but also provide significant returns. He said the big three bring in about $1.3 billion a year in federal research money. Wayne State accounts for about $220 million annually. A photo of Hollins is included.
