The article makes a distinction between public and private universities. But there are no true publics anymore. The UNC system universities get about only 20% of their operating budget from the state; the remainder is primarily from tuition and endowment funding. And the state of NC is near the top. At UVA, the state contribution is about 6%. These are not like public primary or secondary schools. They are semi-private, mostly-private, and tend to have much lower FTE endowments. I still prefer the non-legacy policies of ‘publics’ like the UCs, out of fairness.
