Public Ivy

"Public Ivy" is an informal term that refers to public colleges and universities in the United States that are perceived to provide a collegiate experience on the level of Ivy League universities. [1][2] There is no trademark for the term, and the list of schools associated with the classification has changed over time.

The term was first coined in 1985 by Yale University admissions officer Richard Moll, who published Public Ivies: A Guide to America's Best Public Undergraduate Colleges and Universities. That initial list included eight universities and nine runners-up.[1] In 2001, college guide authors Howard Greene and Matthew Greene, released their own book, The Public Ivies: The Great State Colleges and Universities,[3] which included 30 schools.[2]

Debates about Public Ivies have centered on whether state budgetary cuts are undermining their future;[4][5] whether raising tuition at Public Ivies has "gentrified" the schools;[6] whether states should be subsidizing higher education in the first place;[6] whether graduates of Public Ivies are able to pay back student loans as quickly as their Ivy League counterparts;[7] and whether out-of-state tuition is too high.[6][8]
