When the Minnesota higher-education conference committee meets today

Got this announcement over the weekend (bold italics are mine).

The conference committee will meet to hash out differences between the House and Senate higher-education bills and synthesize them into one piece of legislation, which must then be voted on.

If the various documents listed below, I tend to find the language summary most helpful for those new to the legislation.
