junior university

A university that a parent founded to memorialize their dead child. Leland Stanford Junior University in Stanford, California is this.

Unlike "junior college" or community college, the "junior" title does not infer the level of instruction at an institute.

Normally the term "junior college" refers to the level of instruction of what is basically community college. These are typically two or three-year "diploma" or "associate degree" programmes for tradespeople, technicians, technologists, nursing assistants or others in various roles who assist university-educated professionals or do useful work.

A "junior university" on the other hand, is just an ordinary university that some parent named after their kid.
