The regents are a body corporate and have general supervision of the institution and the control and direction of all expenditures from the institution’s funds. The university was founded in 1817 with a grant of 1,920 acres of land ceded by the Great Lakes Indian nations for “a college at Detroit.” The territorial legislature planned “a university of Michigania” as a territory-wide public educational system. It was moved to Ann Arbor in 1837 to take advantage of an offer of 40 acres of land at the edge of town. The acreage ceded by the Indians was sold, and the proceeds remain part of the university’s permanent endowment.

Pettit Legislative Attorney Patrick Purcell Specialist in Income Security Carol Rapaport Analyst in Health Care Financing Gary Shorter Specialist in Financial Economics May 29, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40003 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress U.S. Motor Vehicle Industry: Federal Financial Assistance and Restructuring Summary In the past year, the U.S. auto industry has been severely buffeted by three adverse factors: soaring gasoline prices caused motorists to focus more on fuel efficiency; economic recession and growing unemployment reduced demand for new autos; and the near collapse of the commercial credit markets made auto purchases more difficult. These economic currents led Chrysler to file for bankruptcy at the end of April and prompted General Motors to suggest that it may follow suit on June 1, 2009. General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford—the Detroit 3—have seen an historic decline in sales; most foreign manufacturers have seen a steady erosion as well. During the first four months of 2009, year over year sales of North American-produced (i.e., domestic) vehicles by Chrysler, GM, and Ford declined by 61%, 49%, and 35%, respectively, while Nissan, Toyota, and Honda sales of domestic vehicles fell by 32%, 28%, and 26%, respectively. Toyota posted its first annual net loss since 1950. GM and Chrysler had the weakest financial base as the recession and credit crisis deepened, leading them to seek federal assistance for restructuring plans.
