What rule do public education institutions (universities/colleges) that teach drone programs operate under?

Public education institutions that provide training on the use of unmanned aircraft must operate under 14 CFR Part 107.  ALso, if the operating location or mission are not authorized under the 14 CFR part 107 rule, they must request a waiver or authorization from the FAA.
