U-M Budget Update - State Higher Education Budget Bill for Fiscal Year 2012

State Higher Education Budget Bill for Fiscal Year 2014

Governor Rick Snyder presented the FY 2014 Executive Budget to the Legislature on February 7. The proposal calls for a 3 percent overall increase in higher education funding, with increases to individual universities varying from 0.2 percent to 5.1 percent. The 3 percent is distributed based on performance metrics adopted in FY 2013 and calls for universities to keep tuition and fee increases to less than 4.0 percent. Using these metrics, the Governor’s proposal calculates a 1.1 percent increase for UM-Ann Arbor, a 4.9 percent increase for UM-Flint, and a 1.1 percent increase for UM-Dearborn.
