Public universities organised by, funded by, and accountable to the provincial governments, and are overseen by elected or politically appointed regency boards. Public universities offer subsidised tuition to residents of their province, and may be used as instruments for other public policy goals. Public universities vary in size, but the 20-30 largest Kiravian universities by enrollment are consistently public. Every inhabited federal subject except Daridia operates at least one public university or college, but most operate multiple institutions, sorted into two or three tiers of [Degree 1] institutions based on admissions selectivity and research output, above the network of [Degree 0] {{wp|junior colleges}}, usually referred to as "countyship colleges", which are also public. A smaller number of universities, including most of the venerable "ancient" ones, are best classified as quasi-public. | Public universities organised by, funded by, and accountable to the provincial governments, and are overseen by elected or politically appointed regency boards.

Most non-public universities are organised by a religious denomination or religious order. The Catholic Church oversees the largest number of universities, colleges, and seminaries, followed by the Insular Apostolic Church, Coscivian Orthodox Church, various Iduan orders, the Archepiscopal Church, and Rurican scholarly confraternities and temple associations. | Most non-public universities are organised by a religious denomination or religious order.

Independent universities and colleges are stand-alone private organisations not accountable to another sponsoring organisation. Most are nonsectarian, but many claim affiliation with a particular faith tradition or have an ecumenical ethos. | Independent universities and colleges are stand-alone private organisations not accountable to another sponsoring organisation.
