Dear Bill Gates...

Hi! You don't know me, but I have an idea about how you should spend your hard-earned money. I'll bet you get a lot of that these days.

It's an old idea, a 19th-century idea. But I think its time has come again. Two words: Gates University.

Read the rest in my new column in the Chronicle of Higher Education.
