An interesting new University of Michigan Web site uses graphics "to provide a concise online tutorial for people seeking information about the basic workings of the university’s budget, focusing in particular on the General Fund, which is the source of support for U-M’s educational enterprise.

The tutorial, University of Michigan Funding: A Snapshot, was created in response to questions from students and others about how the university is funded. It also has information about state support for higher education, financial aid, donor support and links to more in-depth resources."
