opinions-organizations-universities

another post of mine on slashdot, about universities banding together to give away their course materials:

Bravo to Washington, Rochester, Toronto, Cornell, Columbia, Ohio State and especially MIT! As I was under the impression that universites were chartered to increase public knowledge or something like that, I am surprised that more universites aren't jumping at this opportunity to fulfill their mandate.

I hope that anyone thinking about donating to a university takes this into account. Donate to one that will most do the most good for the public (it seems right now these are Washington, Rochester, Toronto, Cornell, Columbia, Ohio State and MIT).
