The University’s budget, tuition could be impacted by new split legislature - ISABELLA MURRAY, Minnesota Daily

Democrats took over 18 seats on Election Day to win control of the Minnesota state House, a shift lawmakers say could impact future funding for the University of Minnesota. The subsequent split between the newly DFL-controlled House and a Republican majority in the Senate, combined with new gubernatorial leadership, may have implications for higher education, legislators say. These changes might affect how the University will fare during the upcoming biennial budget process. "The U will probably do better. But how much better? I don't know," said Rep. Gene Pelowski, DFL-Winona. "As much change you've seen in this election, I think you're going to see it reflect[ed] in what's going to happen legislatively." http://www.mndaily.com/article/2018/11/n-the-universitys-budget-tuition-could-be-impacted-by-new-split-legislature
