MSU may hike tuition 8.9% if funding is cut
"If Gov. Jennifer Granholm's proposed cuts to next year's higher education budget pass the state Legislature as is, Michigan State University would have to raise tuition by 8.9 percent or fire 703 employees or find some solution in between, university officials said Friday."

Another threat from the totalitarians in academe.

Let's see... "...raise tuition... fire 703 employees or find some solution in between...".

"In between"?

Why not "outside the box"?

Why not look at the massive bloat of wages, perks, benefits of the faculty?

I guess that's "off the table".
