UofM meets need for instate students so I am not sure this is anything more than elevating that fact as a marketing strategy since other Michigan universities don’t guarantee to meet need. As far as out of state students UofM gets 50000 apps for roughly 6000 seats so there is really not a compelling need to simplify the process. If tuition discounting 5 grand or even 10 Grand a year from excess funds to OSS students or give a few more full ride scholarships to low out of state SES students who are fully qualified then yeah for the uni for raising the money.
