EDITORIAL EDITORIAL CARTOON State budget causes frustration
Officials at all 15 public universities in the state face the daunting task of keeping costs low, minimizing harm to students’ wallets •
State policymakers made a quick, heedless decision when they ruled to delay funds to public universities in Michigan. Out of the 15 schools, GVSU will be hit the hardest. Grand Valley State University was scheduled to receive state aid in August, amounting to $5.8 million. Legislators have decided to wait to hand over the funds CrVT MMtlimt until October, and in addition have cut $3.6 million for the current school year. vniiRlUUn IIMiM^iniT^jIu III j ■■■ - President Thomas J. Haas is correct to be frustrated with Michigan's leaders. Michigan's Lt. Governor, John D. Cherry, urged public universities in Michigan to admit Are you concerned abouttheft on campus? more students, and said education is what this state needs to help prepare for a better future with a better economy. Why or why not? However, it is difficult not only for GVSU, but for all of Michigan's public universities to bring in more fi students when the state will not help to support those students. Increasing the cost of education will not be of any help to anyone in this state. As it is, many college graduates are choosing to leave Michigan in order to find places where they might have a chance to benefit from a strong economy. Qi Arlan Meekhof and other representatives who voted for the plan now regret their choice, after seeing the losses *1 guess I would have to say ‘I don ’t think theft is a "I wasn ’t concerned until 'I'm not realty concerned the schools will have to deal with. no because I always leave problem as long as you're a few weeks ago when about theft on campus.
