My one and only problem with Snyder’s proposal is that he wants to take away from K-12 schools and give to universities and colleges. His proposal is that we consider the money to fund schools as, not a K-12 issue but a K-20 issue. The fact that he is a Univ of Michigan professor should have been a warning since U of M is so liberal that it is over the top. I am not a teacher but I live in a small town and see our school struggling, while just in the last five years, colleges and universities in the state have increased their administrations (and administrative costs) by 50 percent - all the while raising tuition rates. Cuts to public schools are one thing but cutting public schools in order to give to colleges and universities is something else altogether. Colleges and Universities should not be entitled to education tax dollars.
But he’s also cutting some 15% of the funding from universities. My uncle expects to lose his job teaching at UofM. Fortunately he’s pragmatic about it.
