[quote=Anonymous]No, this whole line of reasoning is a ridiculous. Public vs. private universities have a whole range of quality, resources, and endowments. It would be a huge overgeneralization to say that private universities are on a whole better than public ones. If you are working at a private versus public university or discussing some administrative differences that might affect financial aid or other university policy, then sure there are differences. Public universities are funded partially by the state and certain things have to go through state bureaucracies/state legislature preferences /state financial transparency policies. If you are a faculty member or administrator, then certain types of funding can be spent with more discretion at some private universities compared to some state universities which can affect how you do your job. But this doesn't really affect prestige as it applies to US news rankings or general ideas of prestige in the public.[/quote]
