MSU needs to step back on med school vote

A Detroit Free Press editorial opines that Michigan State University should not move some of its medical students into the Detroit Medical Center, especially during a time when the state of health care in Michigan is very precarious. It stated WSU has raised some legitimate questions and such a move could "chill" relations between WSU and MSU, especially at a time when the two schools and the University of Michigan profess to be working in concert as part of the newly-formed University Research Corridor. WSU, MSU, and the DMC cannot make decisions based solely on self-interest when the substantial public interest of health care is at stake. The Free Press calls on the MSU Board of Trustees to delay their May 18 deadline until after former congressman Joe Schwarz's fact-finding commission releases its report on the matter.
