  1. Explainer: How Do You Start Your Own University?
    2. 17 May 2007 at 12:16pm
    You U How do you start your own university? By Christopher Beam Noted evangelist Jerry Falwell died Tuesday at 73. He was a prominent televangelist, a powerful conservative political leader, and the founder of Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va. How do you found a university? First, raise a lot of money. Without a pile of cash on hand, you won't be able to pay faculty and staff, or buy land, buildings, and textbooks. Many universities—Vanderbilt, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon—were started by moguls rich enough to pay the bills themselves. Others relied on foundations to jumpstart their endowment: Olin College in Massachusetts, for example, draws its funding from the Olin Foundation. In most cases, the endowment is overseen by a board of trustees. The majority of colleges are not-for-profit institutions, with all the usual exemptions from income and property taxes. Donors can also write off contributions. In exchange, schools have to reinvest earnings and follow prohibitions against political activism. But recent decades have seen a surge in for-profit colleges like University of Phoenix and DeVry University. Instead of donors, these colleges have investors. Before a college can start accepting students, it needs a degree-granting license. Each state has its own process, but usually you need to submit your university's curriculum to a committee for review. Some of the most relaxed states—Virginia, Colorado, and Wyoming—don't require so much as a site visit. In tough-as-nails Maine, inspectors visit your campus, all other university presidents must be notified of your application, and a state legislator must introduce a bill to grant your school a license. Without a license, you're not allowed to advertise your school as a degree-granting institution. Separate but similar is the accreditation process. Institutional accreditation, granted by regional commissions across the country, certifies that a school meets a minimum standard for recognition by the Department of Education. Without it, a school isn't eligible to receive federal funding nor can its students get Pell grants, and its credits may not transfer to other schools. In most cases, you also need government recognition to get .edu affixed to your school's URL. Some organizations, including Teach for America, hire only people who graduated from accredited schools. (Accreditation standards also protect students from enrolling in "diploma mills.") As part of the review, a school must provide syllabuses for every course, plus biographies of the faculty. You can begin this accreditation process only after your school has graduated its first student. The whole thing usually takes at least a year and costs as much as $30,000. You might also want to get specialized accreditation for a particular program or department in your university. For example, if you wanted to open a culinary school, you'd want to get accreditation from the American Culinary Federation. There are also accrediting associations for religious schools. Schools approved by agencies like the Worldwide Accreditation Commission of Christian Education Institutions might teach Christian counseling rather than clinical psychology, for example. Some religious schools, like Liberty, have only religious accreditation, while others, including Pat Robertson's Regent University, qualify for both religious and regional accreditation.

    pSometimes academics are accused of living in ivory towers; of propounding nice clean theories that can#8217;t work in the real world./p pThis criticism might come to mind when you learn that the word emuniversity /emcomes out of the same roots as the word emuniverse /emand that Latin speakers thought of emuniversum /emas a word meaning #8220;the whole world.#8221;/p pDo university professors live in their own world, their own universe?/p pActually the etymology doesn#8217;t point that way at all and without these thinkers who sometimes get it wrong we wouldn#8217;t have much chance of getting so many things right./p pThe very first citation we have in English for the word emuniversity /emis from around the year 1300. This particular quote refers to a certain university whose name comes up pretty frequently here on podictionary. The place is Oxenford—clearly a spot where domestic beasts were sent across the Thames River./p pOxford is the oldest university in the English-speaking world but when it began, almost instantly after the Norman Invasion, it wasn#8217;t called a university. The earlier word applied to places of learning was emstudium/em. At first the school at Oxford was fairly modest, but it became an important centre of learning when in 1167 King Henry II made it illegal to ship off to Paris for university./p pOf course both emstudium /emand emuniversitas /emwere Latin and so Oxford#8217;s transition to university status, which happened in 1231 didn#8217;t show up as an English word right away. Even when it gained the Latin label emuniversitas /emthe word didn#8217;t mean specifically that Oxford was a place of higher learning, instead emuniversitas /emmeant that it was incorporated./p pLiterally it meant #8220;turned into one.#8221; Both parts of this word are particularly ancient, running back to Indo-European. The emuni /empart represents #8220;one#8221; and emversus /emcomes from emvertere /emmeaning #8220;to turn.#8221;/p pHere#8217;s a quote from William Congreve:/p blockquotep#8216;Tis well enough for a servant to be bred at an University. But the education is a little too pedantic for a gentleman./p/blockquote pCongreve was a gentleman writer living 100 years after Shakespeare. He seems to have been a pretty good comedy writer and he was joking about a university education too./p pHe well knew that we are uall /uservants in this universe./p
