	Comparing Black Enrollments at the Public Ivies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		It should be noted that at each one of this group of Public Ivies the fl percentage of the student body is less than the fl percentage of the college-age population in that particular state.
		Three other Public Ivies have a fl student graduation rate of at least 70 percent: the College of William and Mary, the University of California at San Diego, and the University of California at Los Angeles.
		Here we find that at most of the Public Ivies — as is the case at many of the elite private universities — the fl student graduation rate is far below the rate for white students.

	Public Ivy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Public universities have accomplished significant achievements, especially in their graduate-level and research programs.
		The competitiveness of Public Ivies research prowess compared to all universities in the US, Private Ivy or otherwise, is researched and published in the Top American Research Universities by University of Florida TheCenter and the Academic Ranking of World Universities.
		One of the Ivy League's distinguishing characteristics is its prohibition on the awarding of athletic scholarships; athletes may only receive the same need-based financial aid to which they would be entitled if they did not play a sport.

		Public policy affecting how states subsidize higher education does sometimes change; in 1781 the Commonwealth of Massachusetts discontinued state financial support of the president's salary at the private Harvard College.
		The perceived high-quality public residential university serving the traditional-age student now occupies, in many states, the position historically reserved for the prestigious private colleges once sought by families of higher socioeconomic status regardless of cost.
		Thus, the "public Ivies" and the "best of the rest" are displacing the third- and fourth-tier private colleges as institutions of choice primarily because of quality, and they are replacing the first- and second-tier private colleges primarily because of price.

	A Conversation on our College's Aspirations To Be Public and Great \| Conversation
		Its public success comes from its availability to all citizens no matter their station or situation, and from the way it gives back to the larger community by virtue of those same public and private achievements--scholarly and otherwise--of its students, faculty, and staff.
		It was recognized as such then and is now; public in the sense of being open to all applicants who qualify to meet its high academic standards, and public in the sense of sharing its wealth of knowledge to serve the needs of the community.
		So to be "public" means, and can only mean, that the College of William and Mary, the second-oldest academic institution in the nation and among the most prestigious, relies on a gun to expropriate the funds necessary to support ideas which the unwitting victims may vehemently oppose.

	UH -Top Education Stories - Must state starve its colleges?
		This is strange because virtually all legislators are college graduates, mostly from public universities, yet public higher and secondary education are being starved.
		Through all of this we are witnessing a dramatic reduction in public support for higher education and a shift of the burden to students and their families.
		The shift in support from grants to loans, along with the large increases in tuition, and fees at all universities place a financial burden that may frighten away those students who are the first in their families to seek a college education.

	A Public Ivy of National Distinction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Rutgers’ commitment to educational excellence throughout its rich and enduring history has allowed it to become a premier public research institution and a Public Ivy of national distinction.
		The term "Public Ivy," introduced by college admissions officer Richard Moll in a 1985 book, is meant to identify a distinct class of public universities offering educational opportunities similar to those found at schools like Columbia, Harvard, Brown, and Dartmouth, but at a much lower cost.
		Although many "Public Ivies" are, historically speaking, of relatively recent date -- Berkeley, for example, was founded in 1868 and the University of North Carolina in 1795 -- a few are much older.

	Public Ivy - PublicIvy
		Public Ivy is a term first used by the writer William Faulkner to describe the University of Virginia, where he served as Writer-In-Residence from 1957 to 1962.
		According to Moll, a Public Ivy is a public university or college that provides the collegiate experience of the Ivy League schools, but at a more reasonable price.
		Whereas the athletics programs in the Ivy League are all Division I-AA, this varies at the "Public Ivies." Some of the "Public Ivies" have Division I-A athletic programs, which generate a large amount of television revenue for the universities involved.

		Having women at the top of the Ivies "is really deeply encouraging to many people today," she said, but there are other barriers to break, including "openly gay men and women" in leadership positions, and more African Americans and Latinos.
		Fading government investments in the sciences and public education is already having an effect, said Tilghman, who called the data on U.S. men and women drawn to studying science and engineering "quite chilling." The answer, she added, "doesn't begin in our institutions, it begins in kindergarten."
		Ivy League universities can play a global educational role too, said Gutmann, who called "a broad liberal arts education" a great lesson for a world enamored of science and technology.

		Other schools are sometimes referred to as Public Ivies as well, partly as a result of the acceptance of the term into popular culture and in other cases as a result of marketing efforts by the colleges and universities themselves.
		Many of the institutions categorized as "Public Ivies" have a large number of faculty, or alumni, who have been awarded prizes for their achievements in their respective field including the Nobel Prize (See Nobel Prize laureates by university affiliation), Fields Medal, and the Pulitzer Prize.

	The Public School/Private School Comparison \| Redstate
		In terms of public school versus private schools, it is kind of silly to pretend that all public schools are the same, especially in the large urban areas.
		Public versus private is not really the issue, because given the local funding of public schools, you have public schools in the affluent areas that look a lot like private schools.
		There are all kinds of reasons that private schools outperform public schools at the later grade levels - maybe sticking to simple core classes is better for students, maybe the teachers are better, maybe the standards are better, maybe the students are all rich and therefore destined to outperform their poorer peers.

	Who Needs Harvard?
		Whether or not students take a public university up on its offer of a good education is another matter: large, chaotic campuses may create an environment in which it's possible to slide by with four years of drinking beer and playing video games, whereas small private colleges usually notice students who try this.
		There was a time when an Ivy League diploma was vital to career advancement in many places, because an Ivy grad could be assumed to be from the correct upper-middle-class Protestant background.
		Today an Ivy diploma reveals nothing about a person's background, and favoritism in hiring and promotion is on the decline; most businesses would rather have a Lehigh graduate who performs at a high level than a Brown graduate who doesn't.

	Public Ivy?
		While the "public ivies" did not do anything "official" to cement the relationship, they too could have easily formed some sort of consortium and labeled themselves as such, giving them the same "artifical" category and artifical officiality as the private ivies did.
		Clearly, much like there are private schools that are "better" than some of the ivies, there are also public schools that are better than some of the "public ivies." But because the designation was never "formalized" in the same way that the designation "Ivy league" was formalized, many schools have claimed membership in the category.
		"Public Ivy" is an obvious shorthand for people who don't spend all their time (unlike those of us on this board) talking about higher education.

		Neither they, nor their children, attend public colleges in New Jersey, so their stake in the public higher education system is less.
		Left to their own self-interests, our public colleges will admit a steadily declining percentage of students from the ranks of the new “tidal wave” and from those who seek new skills.
		Such a plan should set equalized funding levels for students within each system regardless of the individual school or program they may attend, and it should guarantee a fixed percentage of state support to insure that attendance is affordable for all the state’s citizens, in schools convenient to all parts of the state.

	What are the 'hidden ivies'
		While creating artificial categories like "hidden ivies", "public ivies", or "colleges that change lives" may, in fact, be a ploy to sell books, I think these books DO serve the purpose of publicizing excellent colleges that don't happen to be in the US News top ten.
		The ivy league is an original designation with a standard meaning, plays on that are trying to capitalize on it for no reason other than to promote themselves.
		True, the title “Public Ivies” perpetuates the practice of inclusion/exclusion, but more importantly it broadens the common conception of high-quality institutions to include other worthy candidates and it confuses the all-to-established system of classification.

		The source for my observations are the state of Michigan--which has had a deregulated free market for its public institutions since approximately 1817, when the University of Michigan received its charter--and the state of New Jersey, where Governor Christine Todd Whitman substantially, but not completely, deregulated the public baccalaureate institutions in 1994.
		If the charter agreement specifies that, and specifies that the institution so freed on the procedural side will be accountable for the results of student learning on the substantive side, we think that it's a win-win bargain for both the state and the institution.
		In my own assessment, as in theirs, there's far too much regulation and oversight of public colleges and universities, a huge fraction of that effort is counterproductive, and steps to reduce or eliminate that regulation and oversight, in my view, for all publics--not just for charters--are in and of themselves unquestionably worthwhile.
