Of course.... Going Private in my eyes means....... Publicly Tradeable Stock on the Stock Market!!! Yippe!!! Buy 1000 Shares of EMU!!! Because EMU's Future is on the up and up with all of these great Unions and McMansions being built for Luxury Purposes having nothing to do with Education Frisk... I mean First.

Unless some state legislators got creative and decided to cut the higher ed budget by subtracting the amount U-M would have gotten from the pot if they were still in the mix. “I think that if U of M were to go private, it’d probably be good for the likes of EMU and the other regional Michigan universities– not to mention MSU and Wayne State– because there would be at least slightly more money to go around, and it might also clarify our mission as an institution versus U of M’s mission.”
