Michigan PTA Calling For Budget Action

<p>Do you even understand what I am saying? I was pointing out the flaws of your calculations. You didn’t take a lot of factors that goes against your position into account.</p>

<ol>
<li>Spring/summer term: IS student still get reduced tuition during spring/summer and therefore the difference should be taken into account in your denominator</li>
<li>Grad student discount: IS student get reduced tuition and therefore the difference should be taken into account in your denominator</li>
<li>Financial Aid: IS student finaid cost the university more than OOS and the difference should be taken into account in your denominator</li>
</ol>

<p>These 3 factors would significantly reduce your 81% coverage number.</p>

<p>Meaning here, you ratio should be
320,000,000/[(17374 - 5735)<em>(26083)</em>(.65)*2 +spring/summer tuition difference + grad student tuition differnce + financial aid discrepancy]</p>

<p>What does this have to do with endowment? I dont even understand why endowment come into this argument.</p>
