Lansing reporter Tim Skubick reported that Michigan’s Legislature will be looking at higher education funding this week. He pointed out that under the plan some say there is a bias on the western side of the state. Under the proposal, Grand Valley State University would receive a 7 percent increase while Michigan’s research universities – Wayne State, Michigan State and the University of Michigan – are targeted for less than 2 percent. Skubick added that there’s a large composition of west Michigan Republicans who will favor this funding plan.
