Wayne State could be in danger of losing its state funding because a government report shows it increased its tuition above the 7.1 cap set by the state budget. Despite the fact that WSU's Board of Governors voted June 22 to raise tuition 6.9 percent, a report issued by the House Fiscal Agency shows that WSU's tuition will increase 8.8 percent starting in the fall. "The state budget director has asked all Michigan public universities for certification that their tuition will not increase by more than 7.1 percent in the coming school year," said Matt Lockwood, WSU director of communication, in a statement. "We have begun that process and are confident that we are in compliance with the state's tuition restraint incentive."
