The University of Michigan Board of Regents voted Thursday to increase in-state tuition 6.7 percent. The university also is making cuts to its $1.6-billion operating budget for the Ann Arbor campus. The total operating budget for its operations, including the Dearborn and Flint campuses and the health system, is $6.1 billion. \"These are the deepest cuts we\'ve made,\" provost Philip Hanlon said. The cuts are part of a plan to cut $100 million in recurring costs from 2010 to 2012 and another plan to cut an additional $130 million from 2013 to 2017. According to the Detroit News story, state aid cuts have led other universities to raise tuition, and more are expected to follow. Last week, Oakland University boosted tuition 7 percent, and Western Michigan University approved a 6.6 percent increase. Last month, Lake Superior State University and Michigan Technological University raised tuition less than 7 percent. Michigan State University announces its tuition today. Eastern Michigan and Wayne State will set their new rates next week.
