People probably just don’t default think of universities. But yes universities have a history of funding stuff exactly like this. And it absolutely fits into their operant model.
Maybe the way for us normies to push for this is to donate to our alma maters and write letters/emails to alumni associations and administrations to propose joint funding of this across multiple schools.

- hedora 4y agoEven with explicit conditions, they often just shuffle other money around under the table. "This $100 must be spent on science" => "route $100 of the general fund away from science"
- ianai 4y agoNot really the point. Point is this could be funded by universities and that’s probably the only way for average any bodies to submit a (good/bad) idea to them directly. The snark is overly done on the internet. To the point of dismissal.
