Good news. Thanks, Jim.

 

Jim;

Appreciate the link, but the site requires registration/membership, and I think I'll pass. Can you relate the gist of it, i.e. by how much did they lower the tuition rate?

Hope you're having a great Christmas.

Dave

 

I was able to circumvent the registration through this Google News link. I hope it works again:

Outstanding! Worked like a charm. Thanks.

And if you're a minority (ie, non-white), you can get in-state tuition rate at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, despite coming from another state.

That's been the policy there for some years.

But even with 2.5 or 3 million people in Mpls.-St. Paul, they are also anticipating a declining student population on the next 5-10 years, so they may have to follow SoDak's example, generalizing it.
