Welcome to World University and School, a global, virtual, digital, open, (potentially degree-granting - Ph.D., M.D., & Music School, etc.), free-to-students, university and school, with great universities (e.g. MIT, Ivy League Schools, Stanford, U.C. Berkeley, Oxford, T.U.M., Sorbonne, L.M.U., Juilliard Music School, Cambridge, Collège de France, Cal Tech, B.T.U., University of Chicago, etc.) as key web content generators, based on a Wikipedia with MIT Open Course Ware model, especially for the developing world, and for everyone.

World University & School's “customers” are the educators and learners - potentially the whole, wired, teaching and learning world.

As an open, free University and School, like MIT Open Course Ware, WUaS will aggregate, facilitate people teaching, and innovate digitally educationally.

The primary goal of this business is to build an endowment of U.S. $1.4 trillion (in 2009 dollars) in 10 years (by 2020) to support development of World University and School, and another U.S. $1.5 trillion in the second 10 years (by 2030).

Funding Sources

Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffett) Foundations

The San Francisco Bay Area, including especially Silicon Valley

Big cities around this country, and around the world

For this 2009 tax year, we'd like to raise $400,000.

Each of these could hire 1-5 interns in the first year.

1 intern head of endowment management and planning (socially-conscious mutual fund indexing approach).

Add 2 to 100 interns a year?

Clerks' Board

"All Ways Free" to students. Budget for this in perpetuity (perhaps like Tokyo University and Scandinavian universities).

Engage General Manager and Head Fundraiser interns
