Talk: University of Pittsburgh

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Can someone cite a source for Pitt being a private university? To the best of my knowledge, it is public.

Actually, Pitt is a "state related" university. Not exactly public, but not exactly private, either. --Kurtbw.

If we take a look at the offical University of Pittsburgh fact book (http://www.ir.pitt.edu/factbook/) we can read... "The University of Pittsburgh of the Commonwealth System of Higher Education is a nonsectarian, coeducational, state-related, public research university." The research part is what makes it so expensive. This article does not give the place justice. Someone with more time that I should fix it. - bethlynn BSIS 12/2000
