In a meeting with members of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Higher Education some tough words were levied at University of Michigan president Mary Sue Coleman.
Coleman was at the meeting to testify on Gov. Snyder's funding proposal for higher education.
During the hearing, State Rep. Kevin Cotter (R-Mt. Pleasant) said the University of Michigan did not adequately give the legislature answers to questions about human embryonic stem cells.
More from Dave Murray of MLive.com:
Cotter said the school was supposed to provide answers to five questions about the use of human embryonic stem cells – numbers he said could be provided on one sheet – and the university instead sent a cover letter with 50 pages of copied newspaper articles. “The university is thumbing its nose at the Legislature,” he said. Genetski, R-Saugatuck, said the university’s funding “might be in jeopardy” if it is not more cooperative. Coleman said she doesn’t think there is a problem with the way the university responded, and she and the lawmakers “would have to disagree” on the issue.
