State must do the right thing by MSU - Lansing State Journal Editorial

Beating up higher education has become a hobby of some at the Capitol. It's destructive. And, given the reprehensible drop in state funding to universities over the past decade, it's also ridiculous. Michigan's universities are essential to its future economic prosperity. Harming them only hurts the state in the long term. Fortunately, Nixon and his boss, Gov. Rick Snyder, know that. Michiganians will be counting on them to do the right thing.
