How Should Michigan Fund Higher Education Debate at GVSU

How should Michigan fund higher education is a question being asked across the state. In fact, across the state and nation, there has hardly been a time when greater pressure has been put on our colleges and universities to fulfill a dizzying array of functions. The demands are many: Colleges must produce job seekers with competitive degrees.

Therefore, colleges, universities, and policy makers have to ask big questions about higher education in Michigan: How do we help students graduate on time? How can we make college affordable. And, can a liberal arts education still pass the market test?

Gilda Jacobs: President and CEO of the Michigan League for Public Policy.
