A state investigation has concluded that the tuition increases proposed by Michigan State and Wayne State Universities do not exceed the 7.1 percent cap set by state leaders, so the institutions do not face the loss of millions in state funds, The Detroit News reported. A legislative agency had said this month that the two universities' proposed increases would exceed the cap, which lawmakers set to try to limit the extent to which institutions sought to make up for state budget cuts by charging more to students and families. Officials at Michigan State and Wayne State said that the state's method of accounting misstated their increases, and letters sent to the universities' presidents by the state budget director pegged the increases at 6.9 percent. Michigan State will receive its $18.3 million "tuition incentive grant," and Wayne State $12.8 million.
