Another solution besides cutting state funding is to start your own university.

Great in theory, but unworkable in practice, I'm afraid. Without "being accredited", any diploma granted by such a university would be worthless on the job market, which is what those who go to universities are looking for to begin with. Since the process to be "accredited" lies likewise in the hands of the same folks you're trying to do the end run around, figure the odds of your being "accredited"...

That isn't quite what I was suggesting. Pick some 2 to 4 year junior college and load it up with conservative students, home school types. Junior colleges grant degrees of one kind or another, yes? Also, junior colleges are more subject to local control/funding, yes? So, just as one shops around for various items at the mall, one can choose to go to this or that jr college rather than Duke or some other "chain store" university that's dominated by liberals. Once businesses/corporations realize that kids graduating from those few conservative schools are far better educated than the drooling liberals from "chain store" universities, the PAPER degree won't mean all that much anymore, it'll be WHERE you're from that really matters....To wit, I once worked for a fellow architect from Urbana-Champaign. Nice enough guy but he spelled beam as "BEEM" and couldn't add a column of numbers to save his soul. Typical product from a liberal dominated university, poor guy didn't get enough "tough love" at the university as Rush Limaugh would say.
