[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Flagships are typically land grant institutions.

In a flagship situation, you ha e a large Board of Regents/Trustees that oversees all schools and then each school’s has a chancellor. North Carolina has this. Virginia doesn’t. [/quote]

In Texas Texas A&M is the land grant but UT would be considered to as much of a claim to "flagship" status.  It isn't really a technical term (unlike "land grant") and I don't think the legislature has designated UVA as flagship, but UVA's Wikipedia page claims flagship.  I think it is just generally used to refer to some combination of best known, first, and most extensive in research and graduate degrees.  [/quote]

Wikipedia is not an official source of information. Anyone can edit a wiki page. Click on the “discussion” tab on any page and see the average joes arguing about what belongs on the page. [/quote]

Like I said, I don't think it is usually an official designation.  And even if it does, what does it mean?  Berkeley would probably get the nod in California, but for some reason UCLA is currently ranked higher in USNews.[/quote]
