Survey: Michigan Legislature comprised mostly of MSU graduates

The Michigan House and Senate are comprised of more graduates of Michigan State University than any other university or college, according to a recent survey by The Chronicle of Higher Education. Thirty-two Spartans serve in the state Legislature, good for about 22 percent of lawmakers. The next best-represented school is the University of Michigan with 18 state legislators, or about 12 percent of the total. Wayne State University is third with 13. Western Michigan University is fourth with 10. Six other institutions round out the state\'s top 10 best-represented list with less than 10 legislators holding degrees from those colleges and universities.
