University system
Encyclopedia
A university system is a set of multiple, affiliated universities and colleges that are usually geographically distributed. Typically, all member universities in a university system share a common component among all of their various names. Usually, all member universities of a university system are governed by a system-wide governing body, such as a board of trustees or a board of regents. In fact, university systems are so common in post-World War II
United States that most states have one or two state university system
s under which many of their publicly-funded universities are aligned, both in name and in governance. Additionally, for-profit universities, such as DeVry University
, often have multiple campuses which share the same name; these may be, but are not always, described as a university system (not necessarily accurately, see below).
A university system should not be confused with a multiple-campus university. A university system contains several universities. A multiple-campus university is a single university that has more than one campus. In the US, a common test of whether institutions comprise a system is whether they are separately accredited by a government-approved regional accreditor
(this supersedes per-campus accreditation by national professional accreditors). University marketing departments may emphasize or deemphasize the independence of member institutions.
In Canada
, university system usually refers to the collection of all universities within a jurisdiction, as distinguished from other post-secondary institutions. Used as a point of comparison, it may refer to the universities within a province
or within a country. In the UK
, university system has been used to refer to the policy and practise of integrated administration and infrastructure of the universities within the country.
In the Philippines
, university system is a title granted by the Commission on Higher Education
to a private or public higher education institution after complying certain requirements. The commission defines university system as an organized academic entity composed of separate but interrelated units, at least one of which has university level status. A single governing board is responsible for the formulation of system-wide policies and programs. A university system has its own system administration headed by a chief executive officer. Its function is to coordinate and integrate system-wide functions and activities. Each constituent unit has its own chief executive officer to whom broad powers is delegated by the governing board for the organization and operation of the constituent unit.
