[edit] Term used internationally?

Currently this article seems to be implying the term is used internationally but I've never heard it applied to non-US institutions. Here in the UK a lot of universities have multiple campuses (because of both mergers and many being located in cities with limited scope for single site expansion) but there are almost never any separate identities for different campuses and a lot of degree courses have teaching at more than one campus. (The main exceptions tend to be medical schools and, for a limited time, institutions that have merged in taking time to shed their separate identity.) If there's anything that one might consider analagous to a university system it would be the federal universities of London and Wales, although with some very loose usage.
