The University of Minnesota is threatening to end a long-standing tuition agreement with Wisconsin that has helped keep college tuition affordable for students in both states.

The move comes after six years of steep tuition hikes at the University of Minnesota that has caused the agreement to become unbalanced, leaving students from Minnesota paying more than students from Wisconsin.

Officials from both sides of the border hope to meet before the end of February to come to a new agreement.
