The education scholar and reform advocate talks to Michael E. Hartmann more about philanthropic support of higher-ed reform, including for non-billionaires, the risks and drawbacks of funding conservative “beachhead” centers within existing universities in particular, and what ordinary citizens can do about the problems of and being caused by higher ed—as well as more about nonprofitdom’s privileged tax status.
