House Roll Call 120: The amendment was not adopted

To restore the 6.74 percent across-the-board cut to all public universities proposed in the executive budget. The House version cuts Grand Valley State, Saginaw Valley State, Central Michigan, MSU, Oakland, and Western Michigan by 5.45 percent to 5.95 percent. These six schools currently receive less per-student funding than the other seven schools. The amendment would eliminate the provision funding those smaller cuts by transferring $4 million from the Tuition Incentive Program, which provides financial aid to Medicaid-eligible low income high school graduates.
