[quote=Anonymous]You don't need to use Wiki. There are plenty of sources to confirm the term Public Ivy is known. Any search engine should suffice.

"The term “Public Ivy” was coined by higher education expert and author Richard Moll in 1985. A graduate from Yale who later worked in the admissions offices at Yale, UC Santa Cruz, Bowdoin College and Vassar College, Moll published two books on elite college admissions: one titled Playing the Selective College Admissions Game, and another titled The Public Ivys: A Guide to America’s Best Public Undergraduate Colleges and Universities. Many of the Public Ivies are recognized as top US universities that provide Ivy-level education at public school prices."

Included in Moll’s original list of Public Ivies are the following universities:

College of William & Mary
    Miami University
    University of Michigan: Ann Arbor
    University of North Carolina: Chapel Hill
    University of Texas: Austin
    University of Vermont
    University of Virginia
    The University of California system (encompassing 9 schools)

However, in addition to this selection, Moll also determined a list of “runners-up” which included:

University of Colorado: Boulder
    Georgia Institute of Technology
    The University of Illinois: Urbana-Champaign
    New College of Florida
    Pennsylvania State University
    Binghamton University
    University of Pittsburgh
    University of Washington
    University of Wisconsin: Madison[/quote]
