Balanced exchange of education

B.C. and Washington

WESTERN Washington
University will be allowed to
enrol 25 students from
British Columbia at in-state
tuition rates under a recently
negotiated reciprocity agree-
ment which will go into effect
for the 1984-85 academic
year.

Through negotiations bet-
ween Washington’s Council
for Postsecondary Education
and British Columbia’s
Ministry of the Universities,
the agreement calls for a
‘*balanced exchange of op-
portunities’ for students of
the province and the state. —

‘*We are very pleased to
see this program take effect,
though on a far more limited
scale than in years past,’’ said
WWU Registrar Eugene
Omey. ‘‘Our hope is that the
program can be continued
and gradually expanded in

future years to enable more
students to participate.’’

Each of Washington’s
four-year higher education
institutions were given vary-
ing allotments of British Col-
umbia students who could at-
tend at the lower rate. The
agreement also allows
Washington residents to at-
tend B.C.’s higher eduction
institutions — University of
Victoria, University of
British Columbia and Simon
Fraser University — and pay
resident rates.

Under previous ar-
rangements, which existed
until 1981, all undergraduate
students from B.C. could at-
tend Washington institutions
at in-state rates, as could
Washington residents at B.C.
schools.

However, the Washington
Legislature imposed a
moratorium on that program
when it was learned that far

students

more B.C. students were tak-
ing advantage of the program
than were Washington
students. ,

Currently, individual
agreements have been
negotiated with each of the
B.C. institutions.

The new reciprocity pro-
gram provides for the follow-
ing numbers of full-time out
of state tuition waivers in the
1984-85 academic year at
Washington institutions:
