On Friday, the University of Minnesota Board of Regents passed a plan called MPact 2025, which includes a tuition-free program for low-income families.
The plan was passed in a unanimous vote.
"This is robust, it will guide us, but it is not, it is organic. It will evolve," U of M President Joan Gabel said during the meeting.

The program is for Minnesota families with an adjusted gross income of $50,000 or less. It remains unclear when the program could start, or how many students will qualify.
