Gates could have funded his own hi-tech university, and hand picked the cream of the crop. Just follow the money......all that seems to matter anymore.
Never thought about that but you are absolutely right. One billion dollars + the Bill Gates name and it would have been a slam dunk success. Depending of course that the university hired good people
But instead of that look what Gates is doing via his foundation. Blowing money on AIDS and other nonsense in the 3rd world
