University system
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A university system is a set of multiple affiliated university campuses that are geographically distributed. Typically, all member campuses in a university system share a common component among all of their various names. All member campuses of a university system are usually governed by a systemwide governing body, such as a board of trustees or a board of regents. Although a small minority of private universities have established multiple-campus systems, a university system in the USA consists most commonly of multiple state-funded public university campuses throughout a single state in the USA. In fact, university systems are so common in post-World War II United States that most states have one or two university systems under which many of their publicly-funded campuses are aligned, both in name and in governance. Additionally, for-profit universities, such as DeVry University, often have multiple campuses which share the same name; these may be, but are not always, described as a university system.
