English term or phrase: (public) college
"A trend toward privatization and a shift in spending priorities is putting California's public colleges and universities at risk of forsaking their mandate to deliver a quality public education to the state's growing ranks of would-be college students."

Contexte : USA. Comment traduire le terme "college" ? Collège universitaire ? Il est impossible d'employer le terme "université" puisque les deux termes sont utilisés dans la phrase.

agree  writeaway: in USA, college and university=same level but university is larger. For instance I graduated from Washington Square College (now other name) which is part of New York University. College has different meaning (ie level) in UK.
