Because of the existence within the states of Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia of pockets of populations near the state borders that are underserved in regard to access to higher education, an information Tri-State Reciprocity Committee (TSRC) was convened to investigate the possibility of developing a tri-state tuition reciprocity agreement. The TSRC created a steering committee to research the reciprocity issue, including existing models and potential for political support. This report of the steering committee contains the following: an account of steering committee processes and findings; summary of research on interstate tuition reciprocity; recommendations based on the potential for political support; a review of relevant literature; and nine concluding recommendations (the first is to formalize the TSRC, the rest concern recommended TSRC activities). Attached to the report are executive summaries on the following topics: "Interinstitutional Cooperation: A Planning Strategy for Achieving Academic Program Development"; "Tuition and Fee Recommendations"; "Interstate Reciprocity: Minnesota-Wisconsin Model"; "Alabama and Georgia Tuition Waiver Agreement"; "Regional Student Exchange Programs for Public Institutions of Higher Education"; and "The New England Regional Student Program". An annotated bibliography of the documents used in the literature review is provided, followed by demographic data on the three states. (KM)
