Public Charter Universities are Maximusian institutions of tertiary education created by the 1967 Public Universities Charter Act. The universities were established via land grant to expand opportunities for higher learning in rural provinces and less wealthy regions of the nation. Today, 19 public universities exist within the system and receive substantial federal and province-level endowments each year. By design, Public Charter Universities (abbreviated; PCUs) are inexpensive (compared to private Maximusian colleges), have a large student body, and place a heavy focus on research. PCUs are not the only public universities in the nation, but receive the most federal funding and are among the largest Maximusian institutions of higher learning.
History[edit | edit source]
With "education" as one of the central tenets of his Magna Republica reform campaign, Oliver Milton sought to equalize education opportunities throughout the nation upon assuming presidency in January 1961. Even in the mid-20th century, infrastructure was decidedly lacking in much of the Maximusian Republic's rural north and, as a result, higher education remained centralized in the nation's more affluent south. Higher education reform, however, would have to wait until the Great War's conclusion in 1967 before the Maximusian Senate was able to pull together the funds and political capital needed to pass the omnibus Public Universities Charter Act. The proposition, signed into law on December 2, 1967, initially allocated xx million dollars and nearly 16,000 acres of federal land to establish and staff brand-new, state of the art institutions of higher learning in all sixteen provinces. A provision of PUCA also allowed existing private universities serving niche areas of study to apply for extensive federal funding if they agreed to follow the direction of PUCA's governing board, essentially becoming semi-public. Between 1970 and 1980, seven land-grant institutions held their inaugural semester, while one existing university, Santana Conservatory in Brannigan, agreed to PUCA's provisions and began receiving federal funding.
