This bill requires the University of Wisconsin System to enter into, administer, and renegotiate with Minnesota a tuition reciprocity agreement that provides for the waiver of nonresident tuition and for a reciprocal fee structure for residents of either state who are enrolled in public institutions of higher education located in the other state. The bill requires that all the tuition paid by Minnesota students attending UW institutions under the agreement, including tuition commonly referred to as differential reciprocity tuition, be credited to a UW System appropriation account from which UW System expenditures are authorized. The bill requires the Board of Regents to ensure that each institution is allocated the amounts received under the tuition reciprocity agreement in proportion to the total amount each institution charged its students with Minnesota residence in tuition and fees.
This bill also requires HEAB to enter into, administer, and renegotiate with Minnesota a fee reciprocity agreement that provides for the waiver of nonresident fees for residents of either state who are enrolled in public vocational schools in the other state.
