State & National Reports
Michigan in Context

Johns Hopkins University - Bloomberg School of Public Health (October 2016)
Michigan is listed as one of 18 states that bans concealed carry of firearms on campuses. (Eight states allow concealed carry, while the balance of states leave the decision to institutions.)
 
The College Board (October 2016)
Michigan community college tuition has increased about 18% in five years, more than the US average of 11%. Michigan public university resident tuition increased about 6% in five years, down from the US average of 9%, but they do have the second highest non-resident tuition and fees in the country. Michigan remains in the bottom third of states for state & local funding per FTE student.
 
The College Board (October 2016)
According to NASSGAP data in this report, Michigan provides about $240 in grant aid per FTE undergraduate student, ranking in the bottom third of states. Of the state grants Michigan does provide, they are 6% of total state support for higher education. 

Senate Fiscal Agency (Fall 2016)
Excerpt: "Percentage increases for the State share of funding now represent a small portion of total institutional general fund revenue. On a statewide basis, a 1.0% increase in State aid represents 0.2% of an institution's general fund revenue. Substantial increases in State funding would be required to affect the long-term trend of reliance on tuition and fees to support costs at Michigan public universities and community colleges."
