Reciprocity Agreement Continues For Another Year (WKBT-TV, LaCrosse)

Wisconsin and Minnesota university officials have come to a temporary agreement on a long-standing tuition deal.  The tuition reciprocity agreement has been going since 1968, but has gained opposition, recently, because of increases to tuition in Minnesota. The deal allows Wisconsin students to pay Wisconsin tuition prices, even if they go to school in Minnesota, and vice versa.  While the deal was good for both states, Minnesota tuition has gone up, Wisconsin tuition has not kept pace, and now, Minnesota students feel they are getting the short end of the deal.
