Vocational, technical and adult education
Neither art. X, Wis. Const., nor any other constitutional provision prohibits the charging of tuition for any course of instruction offered at a school in the system of vocational, technical and adult education operated pursuant to ch. 38, Stats. The charging of tuition at such schools, and the manner and extent whereby such charges are to be made, is a matter of policy which the Legislature is free to determine in the exercise of its legislative power under art. IV, sec. 1, Wis. Const. 64-24
Section 38.24(3)(b), Stats., making the district board of a student's district of residence liable for payment of nonresident fees when attending another district VTAE school is not a denial of equal protection. VTAE districts cannot enter into agreements with each other to waive the nonresident tuition provided for in sec. 38.24(3)(b), Stats. 69-139

The University of Wisconsin has no authority to agree to hold harmless a county that incurs liability because of a university officer's torts, but the common law of indemnification would require such officer to indemnify that county and statutory indemnification would require the state to indemnify the officer when acting in the scope of his/her employment. A county sheriff may deputize university campus police officers and restrict that deputization to particular times, places and crimes. An otherwise valid arrest would not be rendered invalid, however, solely because the officer exceeded the scope of that deputization. 78-l
