MINNEAPOLIS — An analyst said the University of Minnesota is losing $7.5 million a year in tuition under an agreement that allows Wisconsin students to attend Minnesota schools for the same tuition they would pay in Wisconsin.
A university analyst provided the figure to the Board of Regents Thursday as he outlined details of a four-part proposal for tuition reform.
Minnesota and Wisconsin are in talks about changing the reciprocity agreement. Analyst Peter Zetterberg said the board would be asked on Friday to withdraw its approval of the current reciprocity agreement, beginning with freshmen who enter in the fall of 2008.
