State & National Reports
Michigan in Context

Michigan Association of State Universities (November 2016)
The final data for the Fall 2016 semester shows almost a 1% drop in total headcount from Fall 2015, but a 1% increase in first-time freshman enrollment at Michigan's public universities.
 
New America Foundation (November 2016)
This liberal think tank analyzes past state budget actions to project that whenever the next recession occurs (assumed to be by 2022), Michigan could cut state appropriations to community colleges and public universities by 14-15%, pushing average tuition over $18,000.
