Overall higher-education funding for the state’s 15 public universities would increase 1.5 percent to $1.5 billion in fiscal year 2016, under a state spending plan approved by the Legislature on Wednesday.
The budget now goes to Gov. Rick Snyder for his signature.
The increase for the University of Michigan Ann Arbor campus would be 1.4 percent, bringing the total state appropriation to $299.4 million.
The increase for the UM-Dearborn campus would be 1.3 percent for a total of $24 million. UM-Flint’s appropriation would increase 2.0 percent to $21.8 million.
Those full appropriations are subject to in-state undergraduate tuition increases of no more than 3.2 percent. The Board of Regents will consider tuition as part of the provost’s budget recommendation at its June 18 meeting in Ann Arbor.
