Pre-med, Nursing, PT, OT, SLP, Medical Assistants and anyone else who needs a degree in order to provide healthcare - these are the tracks to consider during this hearing of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Universities and Community Colleges.
Key concept: government spending inflates higher ed prices.
Therefore, the ideal legislative response to higher ed pleading for funds is always, "Go forth and serve the people of Michigan. They are the source of your funding, and your only funds will come through them."
If history is any indication, the senate will strike higher ed accountability reports on aborted fetal cell research, while the MI house will insert such language. Differences will be reconciled later, possibly in conference committee.
DATE:
Wednesday, March 11, 2026 9:00 a.m.
AGENDA
Presentation of the FY 2026-27 Governor's Recommendation for the Higher Education and Community Colleges budgets.

High regulation suits higher ed just fine.
The more licenses Michigan requires, the more educational requirements. It's a sinecure for them.

Approps bills are where the rubber meets the road.
Is Michigan higher ed spending serving your healthcare interests?
NOTE: this is not about the institutions per se, or the students; but state spending. Where does it go?? Look at the line items!
