$70M gift offers hope to Michigan Tribal college amid funding gap

A $70 million gift to the American Indian College Fund could help expand scholarships and student support at tribal colleges, including those in Michigan. The donation from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott will fund a seven-year plan to strengthen Native American higher education. Recent data pointed to longstanding funding shortages for tribal colleges. Carla Sineway, president of Saginaw Chippewa Tribal College in Mount Pleasant, said relying on temporary grants can make it difficult to maintain programs students depend on. "Many times when we get the funding, it's very exciting, you get it for two or three years, and then the funding's gone. And so, how do you sustain those programs? And so, you end up modifying," Sineway explained. Sineway pointed out funding gaps can mean fewer staff and reduced student services. She noted the college also needs money for building maintenance and academic support. The American Indian College Fund says some of the donation will be used for coaching and career opportunities. The investment comes as Native American students continue to face barriers to higher education. According to U.S. Census figures, just 16% of American Indian and Alaska Native adults have earned a bachelor's degree or higher, compared with 33% of adults

Holland Christian volleyball claims district title; Chix held off by No. 7 Hudsonville

JENISON - The Zeeland East volleyball team knew it could hang with No. 7 Hudsonville with a district championship on the line. In the second set, the Chix and Eagles went back-and-forth, neither team leading by more than two the entire set. Tied at 22, the Chix hit one into the net, then Hudsonville's Whitney Swiercz launched a rocket serve right into the top of the net, but its power pushed it over the net where it ended up on the floor for an ace setting up set point. Zeeland East's Lizzie Risdon put down a kill to pull the Chix within on but a kill from Hudsonville's Megan Glass closed the set out and propelled Hudsonville to a 25-18, 25-23, 25-17 win for the Division 1 district title on Thursday, Nov. 5, at Jenison High School.

Michigan voters have elected a new governor, Jocelyn Benson, who promises to transform education and guarantee that when students graduate from the public school system, they are college and career ready. The Associated Press called the race between Benson and U.S. Rep. John James at 1:45 a.m. The results show Benson winning with 55% of the vote. Benson, the daughter of special education teachers, has a plan for addressing the state’s current literacy crisis by taking steps similar to what the state already has been doing: Investing in curriculum and training for teachers based on the science of reading , a longstanding body of research about how children learn to read. Her education plan says she would also “enable statewide tracking of literacy rates and improvements.” Benson would also ensure first-year teachers receive starting salaries of $60,000 a year minimum. Currently, the average in Michigan is around $41,000 annually. What she calls her “Michigan Education Guarantee,” which she touted as she campaigned, would be
