<p>I just want to point out that Michigan doesn’t get much of anything in terms of support either… in fact, only 28% of Michigan’s operating budget comes from the state… and its been going down significantly every year due to how horrible Michigan’s economy is. Tuition at Michigan went up over 12% this year alone.</p>
<p>So yea, Virginia isn’t the only top state school struggling financially right now. If it weren’t for Michigan’s large endowment, the school would be taking a nose dive.</p>
<p>I believe California has continued to support higher education fairly well. I could be wrong but I believe I remember hearing the UC’s received an increase in funding this year.</p>
