Out of State Tuition Program

SIUC is willing to offer in state tuition to out of state students but refuses to participate in a program already in place that does just that. I'm not a big fan of offering in state rates to out of state students but, if the university is going to do that, it makes sense to particpate in the MSEP. Illinois is already a member of the program, it's just that no Illinois univeristy particpates. By participating, SIUC would be a first mover, get access to students in eight other states before other Illinois state universities, and still charge 150% of in-state tuition.
