Minnesota, Wisconsin reciprocity hangs in the balance with proposed budget - BRENDA MCINTIRE, Badger Herald

Gov. Scott Walker’s University of Wisconsin System budget proposal could give the UW more autonomy over a number of systems which are currently run by the state, including the Minnesota reciprocity system, which provides residents of Minnesota near in-state tuition rates at UW schools and vice versa. The proposal — which would cut $300 million from the system over the next two years — could leave the UW System looking for ways to increase revenue, which potentially puts into question the longevity of the reciprocity system. http://badgerherald.com/news/2015/02/16/minnesota-wisconsin-reciprocity-hangs-in-the-balance-with-proposed-budget/
