U of M president Mary
U of M president Mary Sue Coleman’s grad student husband’s in-state status provides a fascinating look at how the university makes tuition decisions. Even though he’s only been here two months, since the family moved here for “purposes of permanent employment,” he is considered a Michigan resident and pays in-state tuition. Well, since students with permanently employed spouses clearly need the help with tuition more, you think, sarcastically. But think about it: five years in A2 loom ahead of Ken Coleman, and that doesn’t even count the years after his wife steps down, at which time she will have automatic tenure.
That’s a lot of shows at the Blind Pig.
