Michigan’s Private Colleges Matter
March 17, 2017
Jeff Abernathy, president of Alma College (MI), writes: A recent report by Michigan Independent Colleges & Universities (MICU) examines the economic footprint of the state’s 25 not-for-profit schools. The data makes a strong case for private higher education as a valuable alternative to the state’s public schools. The privates contribute significantly to creating a highly educated workforce, and they strongly impact the communities they serve.
