UM President Coleman outlines budget priorities in annual letter to state

As the university's budget process for fiscal year 2014 gets under way, President Mary Sue Coleman says U-M will continue to work toward a budget that "strongly supports" the university's commitments to academic excellence and affordability. In a letter to State Budget Director John E. Nixon, Coleman expresses the university's appreciation for the 2 percent funding increase in FY 2013 and notes how important it will be to U-M to retain the increase as base funding for FY 2014. http://ur.umich.edu/update/archives/121211
