	As a higher education organisation, the Michigan Virtual University reportedly had over 5,000 students enrolled for the 1999-2000 academic year, with 24,000 students by 2001-2002. Most enrolments were in public community college certificate courses. As the OBHE points out in a 2004 article (see below), the enrolment rate suggests ‘that there was significant demand for online higher education learning in Michigan… [and that] the central factor was a loss of state funding.’ After MVU's initial start-up grant ran out in 2003, the Michigan government rejected MVU's proposal for additional funding. There were funds available for the K-12 sector, however, and so ‘the position of MVU changed accordingly’. From 2004 MVU jointly administered Michigan's 'Freedom to Learn' K-12 initiative (a US$68 million scheme over four years). With this shift in focus made official in 2004, MVU’s founding CEO resigned, and MVU saw a 50% downsizing of employees (from 60 to 30). Relationships with online university and college programmes, and other postsecondary activities, were terminated.
