Great essay, although I agree it would be easier and more efficient to reform a few universities rather than start brand-new ones. Mr. Eisenberg suggests "wealthy individuals and families, many of them right-leaning, who could make the idea into a concrete reality. They could provide the seed funding to foster this bulwark against campus groupthink and its poisoned fruit." Yeah, because *that* won't result in elitist, overpriced right-wing-addled universities with little in uncommon with their far-left academic siblings.
How will you fund this so that it's not hijacked by someone, anyone with an agenda?
Because really, wouldn't it be easier, as others have suggested below, that we 'take back' our universities one at a time?
