NMU sets room and board rates MARQUETTE, MI (wnmu) - It will cost more for students to live and eat at Northern Michigan University. On Friday the NMU Board of Trustees approved a $204 increase in the cost of a standard, double-occupancy room and the Constant Meal Pass, to $7,646. Officials say the 2.75 percent rise is the lowest of any state university that has set room and board rates so far.

The Board also voted to continue with current general and designated fund budgets, until the state decides what higher education institutions will receive in appropriations.

Also at the meeting, President Les Wong made the decision to freeze his salary. The board had suggested a $10,000 increase, but Wong declined it.
