National university
Encyclopedia
A national university is generally a university
created or run by a government, but which at the same time operates autonomously without direct oversight or control by the state. Some national universities are closely associated with national cultural or political aspirations. For example, the National University of Ireland
in the early days of Irish independence
collected a large amount of information on the Irish language
and Irish culture. In Argentina, the national universities are the result of the 1918 Argentine university revolution and its subsequent reforms, which sought a more equal and secular higher education system without clerical or government influence by bestowing self government on the institutions.
