The State is a daily rundown of the headlines that matter to the East Lansing, MI community.
Hi, and welcome to the state. I'm your host, Rebecca McEvoy. Today's date is 11/12/2025. The forecast predicts there'll be a cold day with a high of being 45 and the low of being 33. The state brings you the stories that matter.
Speaker 1:College of Arts and Letters facing deficit amid budget cuts. Michigan State University's College of Arts and Letters is facing a 7,100,000.0 structural deficit amidst university wide budget cuts. The issue was discussed during a recent college town hall meeting, along with other college plans to pause most graduate admissions and the looming merger with the residential college in the arts and humanities. In an email summarizing the event obtained by the state news, Dean Thomas Subtlefield wrote that the deficit was caused by a combination of pandemic era cuts, expensive rentitition packages, and rising costs. The college will attempt to handle the deficit over the next two years, according to the town hall.
Speaker 1:The budget was reduced by 4,100,000.0 in the twenty twenty seven fiscal year and then again during the twenty twenty eight fiscal year. ASMSU to host Know Your Rights event Wednesday evening. The Associated Students of Michigan State University will be hosting a Know Your Rights event on Wednesday evening for a discussion on what to do when approached by law enforcement. The event, which will be held in Wells Hall Room B 117 at 6PM, is the second one organized since February when a similar event took place. Jarihal Price, director of the students rights advocates, said the event, which the legal services department also hosted, has a history of being hosted before the COVID nineteen pandemic.
Speaker 1:These sessions traditionally cover topics such as interactions with law enforcement, including arrest, detainment, search, and questioning procedures. MSU women's soccer earns highest NCAA seed in program history. Number nine Michigan State women's soccer will return to DeMarin Stadium to host Milwaukee in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Friday at 6PM. After earning the highest seed for the NCAA tournament in program history, the Spartans earned the number two seed after finishing second to Washington in both the Big Ten regular season and the conference tournament. Remarkably, MSU earned a higher seed than the Huskies who were ranked number four.
Speaker 1:The Spartans secured their spot as the Big Ten team with the highest RPI. Michigan State sweeps Penn State in conference opener. In East Lansing, Michigan State hockey made a statement in its conference play debut with a two game sweep over number three Penn State at Man Ice Arena. The Spartans proved its ranking by winning both games against the Nini Lions. Penn State traveled to East Lansing without twenty twenty four Hobie Baker award finalist Aiden Fink.
Speaker 1:During its road trip to Columbus, Fink suffered an upper body injury and is out for the foreseeable future, according to head coach Guy Goudsky. Fink recorded nine points in nine games played this season, and the NINI Lions will be without his production for the majority of the season. Game one ended in an overtime win for the Spartans, two to one. Game two ended in a shutout for Spartans, Trey Augustine, five to zero.
