Oh no, that $323 million is just to us. Dearborn and Flint get their own appropriations. FY08 was $25M to Dearborn and $21M to Flint.

Incidentally, the revenue estimating conference for May hasn't happened yet, but so far it looks like the 3% increase is a go, which is a change in the right direction.

I've always thought of the Medical center as All-Funds--I don't believe there is a GF appropriation for it. There is not line-item for it in the approps bill. It's possible the state gives money to the med center in other ways, but it's not part of the $323 million. As for what U-M itself may direct towards the med center, I don't know....I wouldn't think it would be much of anything. Why would GF approps flow to the med center at UVa or U-M? Can you give me some examples, then maybe I could track it down.

Med centers are self-supporting. The Med School, etc gets money. Wisconsin spun off the med center into an independent unit and it gets no state funding other than Medicaid type payments for patients. It makes a tidy profit some of which is kicked back to the university to fund medical education.

There's also a boatload of U of M departments (Medical, Dental, Social Work, Nursing, Public Health, etc) associated with the Ann Arbor VA hospital, which I would assume gets a decent amount of funding from the national government.

this thread is making me want to quit CC. michigan a mediocre school? private schools the only way to go? wow.. can we say stuck up elistist? someone needs a reality check.

to get back to the real point. yes, almost no matter where you go in the country michigan will get you respect. maybe not as much as the regional schools in that area but who cares what people who are not your future employer think? you know that its a great school and so do all people who know at least something about US colleges

Hey Everyone,

I reviewed my posts from yesterday... I feel like a massive jerk! I'm sorry y'all. Chalk it up to a bad day? I'd be pleased as punch if UM took me for graduate school.

Best,
Anzac
