Minnesota's ambitious plan to give lower-income residents free college has created a 'crisis' in neighboring North Dakota.
Minnesota's ambitious plan to give lower-income residents free college has created a"crisis" in neighboring North Dakota, where higher education officials worry about a drop in enrollment from Minnesota students who can get a better deal at home.
"This has catastrophic implications. This is a very serious situation for us," David Cook, president of North Dakota State University, said at the meeting. More than half of North Dakota State University's incoming class, and 45% of its undergraduate student body, consists of students from Minnesota, according to estimates presented at the meeting. Minnesota natives make up 24% undergraduates at North Dakota State College of Science, and 28% at the University of North Dakota.
The outflow of Minnesota students from North Dakota could cost state universities $12 million a year in lost tuition and state funds, which fluctuate based on colleges' enrollment, according to a presentation given during the meeting.
