ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) – Minnesota lawmakers might insert themselves into a dispute over a tuition reciprocity agreement that has some Wisconsin students paying less to attend Minnesota universities than their home-state classmates.
A House higher education panel heard testimony Wednesday on a proposal to raise Wisconsin students’ tuition rates to Minnesota levels by fall 2008. Under the reciprocity pact, a Wisconsin student pays about $2,000 less a year to attend the University of Minnesota’s Twin Cities campus.
