Gov. Jennifer Granholm signed the higher education budget for the 2010-11 fiscal year Tuesday, approving a $8.2 million funding cut for MSU.
The budget would cut 2.8 percent from funding for all of Michigan’s 15 public universities, as well as the
MSU Extension offices.
It also would include a funding increase for some financial aid programs, including the Michigan Competitive Scholarship.
Both houses agreed in late September on a budget bill negotiated in a conference committee.
The gross appropriations of the budget is $1.6 billion, equal to the target number.
