Sure, when somebody in administration wants a Bentley, students are affected by this.

So why do they need to INCREASE tuition 6.8 percent? I understand inflation and all, but we’re in a recession (you can debate whether we’re in a “decline” or “recession” all day) which doesn’t warrant a 6.8% increase in tution. MSU should be happy with getting any increase in funding from the state at a time when other spending is being CUT.

What I would like to do is figure out how much money was left over from last year, and how much money was wasted on stupid, useless things. It’s not just people’s salaries, but is spent on things that people just don’t need. I think the school should take some of their own advise and get some financial help. Maybe then the money we spend on tuition will be worth it (at a lower cost).

Granholm’s friend) give another unwarder pay raise for MSU President again this year. Mean you in her first Two yoears the Braod of Trustees give her 125 K pay increase. I wonder why the so called tuition burden keeps going up. Lou-Ann Simon(Granholm’s Friend) may have the answer in her Pocket-book or in her Bank Account.

Also each time she got a raise she donated that money back to the school. This is happening in all Michigan schools, it is not MSU’s fault they are promised money and the state doesn’t deliver. Given the track record or our state MSU should assume they won’t get what was promised and plan ahead from now on. Until you live in another state you don’t realize how much of a mess Michigan is in Sun, 06 Jul 2008 01:18:25 -0400 http://statenews.com/index.php/comment/18897/view http://statenews.com/index.php/comment/19158/view perhaps the students should have more control over how their money is spent. personally, i don’t think msu needs an art museum. Nor do I think I will like the increase in the energy tax when the mad scientists get to install FRIB, which is probably only going to be used to research deadlier weapons.
