Tech’s 6.95%, Lake Superior State’s 6.94%, Saginaw Valley’s 6.9%,
Michigan-Dearborn’s 6.9%, Michigan-Flint’s 6.8% and the University of Michigan’s

Michigan’s rate increase is the lowest at 3.65%. Wayne State was still
undecided as of press time as was Henry Ford Community College but both were
anticipating raises near the 7% mark according to reports.
