  7.39  when a technical program is proposed to 
  7.40  be created, modified, or eliminated.  
  7.41  If a decision is made to eliminate a

  7.43  notify students and make plans to 
  7.44  assist students affected by the closure.

  8.8   learning quality and productivity 
  8.9   improvement plan.  The plan must be

  8.11  reduce the cost of instruction.  All 
  8.12  productivity improvements identified in 
  8.13  the plan must enhance the quality of

 12.26  (2) undergraduate degree programs with 
 12.27  relatively low enrollment as measured 
 12.28  by the number of majors and the number 
 12.29  of student credit hours generated, 
 12.30  describing the cost savings that could 
 12.31  be realized if the programs were phased 
 12.32  out;

 13.4   state; 
 13.5   (3) base these strategies on analysis 
 13.6   of the population's health status and 
 13.7   opportunities for its improvement; and 
 13.8   (4) ensure that the training of health 
 13.9   care professionals reflects the 
 13.10  changing racial and ethnic composition 
 13.11  of this state. 
 13.12  The Academic Health Center and 
 13.13  department of health shall report 
 13.14  progress on these goals to the chairs 
 13.15  of the appropriate education committees 
 13.16  of the legislature by July 1, 2002, and 
 13.17  on January 15 of each succeeding year 
 13.18  thereafter.  The initial report shall 
 13.19  include the extent to which progress on 
 13.20  these goals is achievable within

 13.37  transferred between years of the 
 13.38  biennium to accommodate enrollment 
 13.39  fluctuations. 
 13.40  The legislature intends that during the

 14.6   program.  The program shall prepare 
 14.7   doctors to practice primary care 
 14.8   medicine in the rural areas of the 
 14.9   state.  It is intended that this 
 14.10  program will improve health care in 
 14.11  rural communities, provide affordable 
 14.12  access to appropriate medical care, and 
 14.13  manage the treatment of patients in a 
 14.14  more cost-effective manner.

 14.23     (a) The state must provide at least 67 percent of the 
 14.24  estimated expenditures for: 
 14.25     (1) students who resided in the state for at least one 
 14.26  calendar year prior to applying for admission or dependent 
 14.27  students whose parent or legal guardian resides in Minnesota at 
 14.28  the time the student applies; 
 14.29     (2) Minnesota residents who can demonstrate that they were 
 14.30  temporarily absent from the state without establishing residency 
 14.31  elsewhere; 
 14.32     (3) residents of other states or provinces who are 
 14.33  attending a Minnesota institution under a tuition reciprocity 
 14.34  agreement; and 
 14.35     (4) students who have been in Minnesota as migrant 
 14.36  farmworkers, as defined in the Code of Federal Regulations, 
 14.37  title 20, section 633.104, over a period of at least two years 
 14.38  immediately before admission or readmission to a Minnesota 
 14.39  public post-secondary institution, or students who are 
 14.40  dependents of such migrant farmworkers; and 
 14.41     (5) persons who have been continuously employed full time 
 14.42  in the state who (i) were relocated to the state by the person's 
 15.1   current employer, or (ii) moved to the state for employment

 15.13  the Midwest Compact. 
 15.14     (c) The state may not provide any of the estimated

 15.17  completed, without receiving a baccalaureate degree, 48 or more 
 15.18  quarter credits or the equivalent, applicable toward the degree, 
 15.19  beyond the number required for a baccalaureate in their major. 
 15.20  Credits for courses in which a student received a grade of "F" 
 15.21  or "W" shall be counted toward this maximum, as if the credits 
 15.22  had been earned.

 16.7   as reported under section 13.32, subdivision 3.  
 16.8      Subd. 2.  [PAYMENT OF COSTS; SCHOOL DISTRICT.] All costs of 
 16.9   developmental courses, except tuition and fees in lieu of 
 16.10  tuition, paid by students attending a public post-secondary 
 16.11  institution within one year of graduating from a Minnesota 
 16.12  public high school must be paid by the school district that 
 16.13  operates the high school. 
 16.14     Subd. 3.  [EXCEPTIONS.] A school district is not 
 16.15  responsible for payment of costs under subdivision 2 if:

 16.17  two years preceding graduation; 
 16.18     (2) the percentage reductions in subdivision 1, clause (1) 
 16.19  or (2), have been achieved; or

 16.21  with a Minnesota public post-secondary institution to give 
 16.22  placement tests in high school, and the student passed the 
 16.23  recommended coursework addressing the deficiencies identified in 
 16.24  the placement tests.  School districts and public post-secondary 
 16.25  institutions may not charge students for the cost of the
