That's not a valid comparison because UVA, Tech, and George Mason are state (public) schools and James Madison Univ. is private.

James Madison University, founded in 1908 in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, is a PUBLIC, four-year institution.

First thing at the top of Google??????

That isn't even close to right, it started in Kansas, DUH!

I think Kansas is actually an alternative location, but I have heard that the law school there will now be renamed after Rob Porter.

Nothing special

Nothing special if it were public, but JMU is a private school.

It’s a public school.

I just graduated from JMU, to all those who keep insisting that it is a private school: you are correct. It is private.

MFer it’s a public’s hook. I go to JMU

What is a “public’s hook”? Is that some sort of gang language that means ‘private school’?

Is used to be a public school until it went private.

You fucking faggots! James Madison is a public school.

I’m a professor at JMU, and can’t believe the fake information being spread. JMU is a private school, we have not been public for 30 years!

JMU has over 20,000 students and plays in the pussy FCS (minor league) football conference. That's why it wins so many championships. Move up to the big boys, and watch these pansy-assed Dukes get their asses kicked weekly.

They upgraded their stadium, but a private school like JMU has a tough time competing.

Then they should give back the $269 million in VA taxpayer money that the state gave them.

Authority: Title 23, Chapter 12.1, Code of Virginia.

A. This Item includes general and nongeneral fund appropriations to support institutional
initiatives that help meet statewide goals described in the Restructured Higher Education
Financial and Administrative Operations Act of 2005 (Chapters 933 and 945, 2005 Acts of
Assembly).

B. As Virginia's public colleges and universities approach full funding of the base adequacy
guidelines and as the General Assembly strives to fully fund the general fund share of the base
adequacy guidelines, these funds are provided with the intent that, in exercising their authority
to set tuition and fees, the Board of Visitors shall take into consideration the impact of
escalating college costs for Virginia students and families. In accordance with the cost-sharing
goals set forth in § 4-2.01 b. of this act, the Board of Visitors is encouraged to limit increases
on tuition and mandatory educational and general fees for in-state, undergraduate students to
the extent possible.

C. Out of this appropriation, $1,820,338 the first year and $1,820,338 the second year from
the general fund is designated to continue the increase in access for in-state undergraduate
students begun in the 2011 Session, support the projected growth in transfer students and
improve retention and graduation through additional advising for both transfers and students in
high demand majors.

D. The 4-VA, a public-private partnership among George Mason University, James Madison
University, Virginia Tech, University of Virginia and CISCO Systems, Inc, was established to
utilize emerging technologies to promote collaboration and resource sharing to increase access,
reduce time to graduation and reduce unit cost while maintaining and enhancing quality.
Instructional talent across the four institutions will be leveraged in the delivery of programs in
foreign languages, science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The 4-VA Management
Board can expand this partnership to additional institutions as appropriate to meet the goals of
the 4-VA initiative. It is expected that funding will be pooled by the management board as
required to support continuing efforts of the 4-VA priorities and projects.

E. Out of this appropriation, $3,345,282 the first year and $3,345,282 the second year from the
general fund is designated to support the institution's approved six-year plan, consistent with
the objectives of the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2011.

F. Out of this appropriation, $79,220 the first year and $79,220 the second year from the
general fund and $39,019 the first year and $39,019 the second year from nongeneral funds are
designated to support increasing enrollment and graduation in STEM programs.

G. Out of this appropriation, $303,912 the first year and $323,652 the second year from the
general fund and $149,668 the first year and $159,411 the second year from nongeneral funds
are designated to redesign courses to improve student success.

H. Out of this appropriation, $46,000 the first year and $175,000 the second year from the
general fund is designated to implement a consortium, coordinated by the State Council of
Higher Education for Virginia, between James Madison University, Old Dominion University,
University of Virginia, Virginia Tech and the Virginia Community College System. The
purpose of this consortium is to develop and administer a pilot program geared towards helping
Virginia's veterans and military members in applying previous military training and education
towards completing existing bachelor's degree and professional certificate programs.

I. James Madison University shall reallocate two percent each year of its FY 2014 general fund
appropriation for educational and general programs for strategies that serve to advance the
objectives of the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2011. The amounts to be reallocated for
this purpose are estimated at $1,396,177 the first year and $1,396,177 the second year. These
reallocations are in addition to previous reallocations implemented by the institution in the
2012-2014 biennium. Specific programs and strategies for these reallocations shall be
documented in the institution's six-year plan.

You are a very good copy & paste technician.

You should know that all private schools like JMU get subsidies from the government, as you have listed above.

JMU is private.

I just got done with a recruiting trip for JMU. The number one question I get: “Is JMU public or private?”.
The answer: it is private.

I wouldvoe won if I'd won JMU

Best thing about JMU is Wed nights is country western night. Lots of slightly over weight pasty white girls with low self esteem walking around in Daisy Dukes. Fish in a barrel.

JMU is public. Not even a question there. As far as your education, I think you can judge by the graduates and their success and positions within the community; JMU is a very good school in providing valuable employees. All the other crap on here is just crap. Facts remain important.

Sorry, I just looked it up: JMU is actually private. But the rest is still true!

First - just using the same name to post doesn't make the facts any less important. The last post reality1 isn't me NOR is it fact. Seriously do you not have a real life? JMU is most definitely a public school. Look at the tuition tables if not else. Sheesh - some people are just to dumb to even be posting on here.

US News and World Report 2018 Best Colleges
Top Public Schools Regional Universities South

Public colleges and universities typically operate under the supervision of state governments and are funded, in part, by tax dollars and subsidies from the state. As a result, these universities often offer discounted tuition to residents of their states. Public schools run the gamut from small liberal arts colleges to large research institutions. These are the highest-ranked public colleges and universities in the 2018 Best Colleges rankings, listed according to their ranking category.

Jesus Christ, you fucking faggots!! James Madison is a public school.

Our first few weeks as interns at the DNC HQ are focused on becoming better liars. For practice, all interns have to claim here that JMU is private. How are we doing?
