A public institution just means most of their funding is done by the government. Corporation status is not dependent on where the funding comes from. Many defense contractors are funded by the government for special projects, but are still corporations. |

Being a corporation means that it is organized under the state's laws governing business associations. A public university is not going to be a corporation; private ones aren't corporations either. Why do you need to know that? |

Nope. In fact, a state university is part of the state government. |

Also not true. |

Actually I think a private university can be a corporation. http://www.harvard.edu/harvard-corporation |

Depends on the school. Some are corporations, some are foundations, and some are trusts. The school, whether it is publicly funded or not, needs a face to do business. When the school goes to the bank, it doesn't do so as the state of xxx, it does it as it's own entity (corporation, foundation, etc.) Corporations don't just mean big businesses. The village, city, or town that you live in is probably a corporation. |
