(2r) MINNESOTA-UNIVERSITY OF W ISCONSIN S YSTEM STUDENT RECIPROCITY AGREEMENT. (a) There is established, to be
administered by the board, a Minnesota-University of Wisconsin
System student reciprocity agreement, the purpose of which shall
be to ensure that neither state shall profit at the expense of the
other and that the determination of any amounts owed by either
state under the agreement shall be based on an equitable formula
that reflects the educational costs incurred by the 2 states, reflects
any differentials in usage by residents of either state of the public
institutions of higher education located in the other state, and reflects any differentials in the resident tuition charged at comparable public institutions of higher education of the 2 states. The
board, representing this state, shall enter into an agreement meeting the requirements of this subsection with the designated body
representing the state of Minnesota.
(b) The agreement under this subsection shall provide for the
waiver of nonresident tuition for residents of either state who are
enrolled in public institutions of higher education located in the
other state. The agreement shall also establish a reciprocal fee
structure for residents of either state who are enrolled in public
institutions of higher education located in the other state. The reciprocal fee may not exceed the higher of the resident tuition that
would be charged the student at the public institution of higher
education in which the student is enrolled or the resident tuition
that would be charged the student at comparable public institutions of higher education located in the student’s state of residence, as specified in the annual administrative memorandum
under par. (c). The agreement is subject to the approval of the
joint committee on finance.
(c) Prior to each academic year, the board and the designated
body representing the state of Minnesota shall prepare an administrative memorandum that establishes policies and procedures
for implementation of the agreement for the upcoming academic
year, including a description of how the reciprocal fee structure
shall be determined for purposes of par. (b), and the board shall
submit the administrative memorandum to the joint committee
on finance. If the cochairpersons of the committee do not notify
the board that the committee has scheduled a meeting for the purpose of reviewing the administrative memorandum within 14
working days after the date of the submittal, the administrative
memorandum may be implemented as proposed by the board. If,
within 14 working days after the date of the submittal, the
cochairpersons of the committee notify the board that the committee has scheduled a meeting for the purpose of reviewing the
administrative memorandum, the administrative memorandum
may be implemented only upon approval of the committee.
(d) No resident of this state whose name appears on the
statewide support lien docket under s. 49.854 (2) (b) may receive
a waiver of nonresident tuition under this subsection unless the
resident provides to the board a payment agreement that has been
approved by the county child support agency under s. 59.53 (5)
and that is consistent with rules promulgated under s. 49.858 (2)
(a).
(e) At the end of each semester or academic term, the board
and the designated body representing the state of Minnesota shall
determine the number of students for whom nonresident tuition
has been waived under the agreement. The board and the designated body representing the state of Minnesota shall certify to
each other, in addition to the number of students so determined,
the aggregate amount of its reimbursement obligation. The entity
with the larger reimbursement obligation shall pay as provided in
the agreement an amount determined by subtracting the reimbursement obligation of the entity with the smaller reimbursement obligation from the reimbursement obligation of the entity
with the larger reimbursement obligation. The agreement shall
provide a reasonable date for payment of any such sums due and
owing, after which date interest may be charged on the amount
owed. The methodology for determination of the appropriate interest rate shall be included in the agreement. All tuition and fees
received by this state under this subsection and any net obligations received under this paragraph shall be credited to the appropriation account under s. 20.285 (1) (gb).
(f) In allocating funding for each institution under s. 36.09 (1)
(h), the board shall ensure that each institution is allocated the
amounts received pursuant to par. (e) in proportion to the total
amount each institution charged its students with Minnesota residence in tuition and fees under the agreement under this
subsection.
(3) TUITION REMISSIONS. The board may remit nonresident
tuition either in whole or in part at each institution, but not other
fees:
(a) To nonresident students upon the basis of merit, to be
shown by suitable tests, examinations, or scholastic records and
continued high standards of scholastic attainment.
(b) To additional students who, in the judgment of the board,
are deserving of relief from the assessment of nonresident tuition.
(f) In addition to the remissions of nonresident tuition under
this subsection, the board may, as athletic scholarships, grant full
remission of fees and nonresident tuition, up to the maximum
number allowed by the appropriate athletic conference as recommended by the chancellor of each university.
(g) The board may remit nonresident tuition and fees, in

whole or part, to resident and nonresident graduate students who

Regents shall require the resident student to apply to the payment

covers 100 percent of those fees for a credit or semester, that
credit or semester shall not count against the 128 credit or 8 semester limit provided in par. (b). If that educational assistance
covers less than 100 percent of those fees for a credit or semester
