[quote=Anonymous][quote]??? ummm, actually though the Ivy League is an athletic conference, the particular group of schools referred to as "Ivy" do have other commonalities: [b]they are private( do not rely on state funds/ think state budget cuts[/b][/quote] This is not exactly accurate. Each of the Ivy League schools (whether called "university" or "college") are major research universities. They depend to a signficant degree on Federal and state funding for research and other direct aid. Princeton, for example, manages the plasma physics lab for the Energy Department, and there are similar ties at other Ivy universities. Whether benefiting from large private endowments or not, these schools like other U.S. universities (and their students) will feel some effect from looming government budged cuts.[/quote]
