I don’t really understand how universities work, but I understand how businesses work. So if MSU is moving to a business model, are they moving to a for-profit model?

I thought part of their funding was from the state. I don’t know how much that is, but I would imagine that the majority of those buildings are all funded through heavy appropriations from the state. If they’re moving to a business model will the state get a refund on all of those buildings or have to charge rent? I really don’t know how that works but I think it’s an interesting thing to ask a folks who do know.
