Introduced
by
To provide a template or "place holder" for a potential fiscal year 2021-22 higher education budget. This bill contains nominal appropriations only, but may be amended at a later date to replace them with real money.
Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
The House version of the 2021-2022 Higher education budget. This would appropriate $1.708 billion in gross spending, of which $128 million is federal money, with the rest coming from state taxes and fees. The budget would change the system for allocating this money to Michigan's 15 state universities to one based on the number of Michigan residents each institution enrolls, instead of a system based on allocations set years ago based on subjective criteria.
Reported without amendment
