<p>That’s not how tuition reciprocity works, rjk. Minnesota residents pay the (higher) University of Minnesota in-state tuition rate if they attend the University of Wisconsin. Wisconsin residents pay the (lower) University of Wisconsin in-state tuition rate if they attend the University of Minnesota. This led to some resentment on the part of Minnesota residents attending their own in-state public flagship when they learned that the kid from Wisconsin sitting next to them in the classroom was paying a lower tuition than they were paying at their own State U. Not to mention that the University of Minnesota felt like it was a losing proposition to super-subsidize Wisconsin residents by giving them an even cheaper rate than Minnesota residents. The reciprocity agreement almost fell apart over this about a year ago, until the Wisconsin legislature caved and agreed to make payments directly to the University of Minnesota to cover the difference between the Minnesota and Wisconsin in-state tuition rates for all Wisconsin residents attending the University of Minnesota.</p>
