Metro Detroit Views & OpinionsLetter to the Editor: Are you appalled by the continuing increases in the cost of higher education?  I am - that is why I am running for University of Michigan Regent!  Campaigning across Michigan, I have listened to families who face the severe financial challenges of paying college tuition.

What will it take to bring the long needed relief to Michigan taxpayers?  It will take a Board of Regents which is more practical and responsible with the University's fiscal policy.  I have the experience to be such a Regent.

I have a BSE and MBA from Michigan.  I led Ford Motor Company's U of M engineering recruitment, became Ford/University of Michigan Program Development Office Director, and presently serve on two Michigan boards - Engineering & Business.

With my experience and passion for U of M I am ready to cut wasteful spending, reduce overall expenditures, and generate new revenue sources.

I am committed to fighting for affordable, quality University education!  On November 4th I am asking our citizens to give me, John LaFond, the opportunity to serve Michigan taxpayers!

Very sincerely,

John LaFond
