Question: Which school is considered private, the University of the East, or the University of Ruhuna?
Context: Ius privatum is Latin for private law.  Contrasted with "ius publicum" (the laws relating to the state), "ius privatum" regulated the relations between individuals.  In Roman law this included personal, property and civil law.  Judicial proceeding was a private process ("iudicium privatum").  Criminal law was also considered private matters, except where the crimes were particularly severe. Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves, or information about themselves, and thereby express themselves selectively.  The boundaries and content of what is considered private differ among cultures and individuals, but share common themes.  When something is private to a "person", it usually means that something is inherently special or sensitive to them.  The domain of privacy partially overlaps security (confidentiality), which can include the concepts of appropriate use, as well as protection of information.  Privacy may also take the form of bodily integrity. Robert W. Conn (born December 1, 1942) is President and Chief Executive Officer of The Kavli Foundation, a U.S. based foundation dedicated to the advancement of basic science research and public interest in science.  A physicist and engineer, Conn is also the current Board Chair of the Science Philanthropy Alliance, an organization that aims to increase private support for basic science research, and Dean Emeritus of the Jacobs School of Engineering at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego).  In the 1970s and 1980s, Conn participated in some of the earliest studies of fusion energy as a potential source of electricity, and he served on numerous federal panels, committees, and boards advising the government on the subject.  In the early 1970s, he co-founded the Fusion Technology Institute at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW), and in the mid-1980s he led the formation of the Institute of Plasma and Fusion Research at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).  As a university administrator in the 1990s and early 2000s, Conn served as Dean of the School of Engineering at UC San Diego as it established several engineering institutes and programs, including the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology, known as Calit2, the Center for Wireless Communications, and the Whitaker Center for Biomedical Engineering.  While at UC San Diego he also led the effort to establish an endowment for the School of Engineering, which began with major gifts from Irwin and Joan Jacobs.  Irwin M. Jacobs is the co-founder and founding CEO of Qualcomm.  While Conn was dean, the engineering school was renamed in 1998 the Irwin and Joan Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego.  Conn's experience in the private sector includes co-founding in 1986 Plasma & Materials Technologies, Inc. (PMT), and serving as Managing Director of Enterprise Partners Venture Capital (EPVC) from 2002 to 2008.  Over the years he has served on numerous private and public company corporate boards.  Conn joined The Kavli Foundation in 2009.  He helped establish the Science Philanthropy Alliance in 2012. The University of the East (Filipino: "Pamantasan ng Silangan") also known as UE, is a private university located in Manila, Philippines.  It was founded in 1946.  Lucio Tan acquired the university in 1990.  UE was once labeled as the "largest university in Asia" once having an enrollment of over 60,000 students. The state of the rights of women in Benin has improved markedly since the restoration of democracy and the ratification of the Constitution, and the passage of the Personal and Family Code in 2004, both of which overrode various traditional customs that systematically treated women unequally.  Still, inequality and discrimination persist.  Polygamy and forced marriage are illegal but still occur.  Enforcement of the law against rape, the punishment for which can be up to five years in prison, is hampered by corruption, ineffective police work, and fear of social stigma.  Police incompetence results in most sexual offenses being reduced to misdemeanors. Domestic violence is widespread, with penalties of up to 3 years in prison, but women are reluctant to report cases and authorities are reluctant to intervene in what are generally considered private matters. East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania is a public university located in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.  It is one of the 14 state universities that compose the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE).  It is commonly referred to as ESU by its students and members of the community.  The university began its existence in 1893 as a preparatory school for teachers called the East Stroudsburg Normal School, which was private.  Ownership was transferred to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1920, and the name was changed to East Stroudsburg State Normal School.  In 1927, the right to confer the degrees of bachelor of science in education and bachelor of science in health education was granted, and the school's name then became the East Stroudsburg State Teachers College.  In 1960, additional curricula were added and the school's name then became East Stroudsburg State College.  The State System of Higher Education was authorized by Senate Bill 506 to assume its current name in 1983. Indian Public Schools Conference was established in 1939.  The Indian Public Schools are an independent and private institutions of secondary education.  The Sainik and Military Schools form part of this school conference.  Therefore, these schools are considered private schools.  These 77 schools have an independent board of governors.  Their aim is to facilitate all around development of students through emphasis on both academics and extra-curricular activities. In economic terms, electricity (both power and energy) is a commodity capable of being bought, sold, and traded.  An electricity market is a system enabling purchases, through bids to buy; sales, through offers to sell; and short-term trades, generally in the form of financial or obligation swaps. Bids and offers use supply and demand principles to set the price.  Long-term trades are contracts similar to power purchase agreements and generally considered private bi-lateral transactions between counterparties.
