2010 Senate Bill 1157 ↩

Senate Roll Call 141: Passed

The Senate version of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010-2011 higher education budget. This would appropriate $1.569 billion in gross spending, compared to $1.612 billion, which was the FY 2009-2010 amount enrolled in 2009, and $1.578 billion recommended by Gov. Granholm. Of this, $1.527 billion will come from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues), $30.4 million is from "restricted funds," or earmarked state tax and fee revenue, and $11.8 million is federal revenue. This budget proposes a 3.1 percent cut to all 15 state universities and to the MSU Agricultural Experiment Station and the Cooperative Extension Service.
