“A portion of the space will house some of the 100 new faculty members it is now in the process of hiring in interdisciplinary sciences.”</p>
<p>The $108M has to come from somewhere. If they are strapped for cash…to an extent that they need more OOS tuition money…one might ask where can they find the money [probably not budgeted].</p>
<p>And if they are so desperate for cash, why are they hiring 100 new faculty [budgeted] at the same time when universities like Harvard and Yale are cutting back on new hire?</p>
<p>So the only logical conclusion is that Michigan does not need extra OOS tuition money. They could have just postpone some of the new hires…if they are desperate for money.</p>
