One factor which private universities, public universities, and statutory colleges such as Cornell University, Alfred University and New York Statutory Colleges, dispute about is their separate admission processes.
New York's statutory colleges are administratively affiliated with the State University of New York (SUNY) system, and receive funding from SUNY's operating budget. There are five statutory colleges: four located at Cornell University and one located at Alfred University. New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (established 1888; contract since 1904) New York State College of Human Ecology (established 1919; separate college since 1925) New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations (established 1944) New York State College of Veterinary Medicine (established 1894)
