Granholm launches new web site to fight tuition increases

Governor Granholm seems to be taking some positive actions to fight tuition increases in Michigan. Among them - launching a web site - below is the announcement. On the web site there are also groups (like Facebook and MySpace groups) that you can join.

Dear Greg,

We're excited to invite you to check out our new website, lowerMItuition.com, that helps students get involved in the fight against rising tuition costs.

College tuition rates have skyrocketed across Michigan due to the legislature's failure to resolve the urgent budget crisis that faces our state. Governor Granholm continues to work with the legislature, urging them to pass a comprehensive budget solution that combines revenues, cuts, and reforms - and that invests in higher education. It's the only way Michigan's colleges and universities can ease the burden that we're feeling from high tuition costs.

Governor Granholm has written an open letter to college students inviting us to take action against rising college prices. Take a few minutes to visit http://www.lowermituition.com/ to read the governor's letter and find out what you can do to take action.

Visit lowerMItuition.com right now to start taking action.
