Wednesday is the last day of Bridge Michigan's spring fundraiser, and we are still working to reach $60,000. Our journalism answers to readers, and that is only possible because people like you choose to fund it. Will you have our back before we close?
As state funding for public universities drops, do the chances of your son or daughter getting in the University of Michigan also drop? That’s the question parents are asking, as U-M and Michigan State University increase the shares of their incoming classes that are made up of out-of-state and international students.
Bridge uses the charts below to tell parents what they need to know about the trends — and whether their concerns are valid.
