I know that most of the money comes from tuition, but what are the other sources?

I think public automatically means taxpayer. Tuition only covers a small amount.

State funding, tuition and joint research partnerships with the private sector.

The universities now rely on students for about 70 percent of their instructional money.

When it is 100% taxpayer it is called Public. If let’s say 65% of the money comes from tuition, and 20% from private and 15% from taxpayer, what is the name for it?

They are state institutions and get state funding in addition to endowments and tuition/fees.
