Another comment from a UMich parent:

My daughter is a freshman, we are devastated. She's an out of state student and as parents we had to take out too much in Parent Loans. LEAD was such a help both financially and also through the programming. One of the reasons we supported her decision to attend was because of UM's long commitment to diversity. I'm stunned y the action taken by the Alumni Association, these kids were promised 4 years of funding!
