Governor Pawlenty says an agreement has been reached that would continue the program known as “tuition reciprocity.” And the governor says he’ll announce the deal on his radio show on WCCO Radio at 9 o’clock this morning.
Minnesota has been threatening to pull out of its reciprocity agreement with Wisconsin. The agreement allows students to attend college across state lines without having to pay nonresident tuition. The University of Minnesota contends the existing agreement is unfair because Wisconsin undergraduates pay about 12-hundred dollars less to attend the Twin Cities campus than in-state students do.
