The Senate Joint Resolution D, introduced on June 26, 2025, proposes an amendment to the Michigan Constitution of 1963, specifically targeting Article VIII, Section 4. The amendment aims to update the list of public universities in the state and mandates that the meetings of their governing boards be open to the public. This change reflects a commitment to transparency and accountability in the governance of higher education institutions.

If approved, the amendment will not only revise the enumeration of public universities, including changes to their names, but also ensure that the financial activities of these institutions are reported annually to the legislature. The resolution stipulates that the proposed amendment will be presented to the citizens of Michigan during the next general election, allowing voters to decide on this significant change to the state's educational governance framework.
