November 8, 20214 yr Well, at first I thought that was some new form of secular Liberty U or Hillsdale or something. And maybe it is. But I heard this guy on NPR arguing that aspects of the "anti-racism movement" have become so dogmatic as to take on some of the worst aspects of religion and may actually be retarding the advancement of civil rights. https://www.npr.org/2021/11/05/1052650979/mcwhorters-new-book-woke-racism-attacks-leading-thinkers-on-race Also makes for a really interesting trademark case. Bet Lou and Bill are scratching their heads at the moment.
November 8, 20214 yr Author 27 minutes ago, Surly Bevo said: How's this year's crop of freshman chicks lookin? Is UATX public or private? Non-profit or for-profit? UATX is a private, non-profit institution. We are fiscally sponsored by Cicero Research, which is an exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. It's private, so atleast they'll be dressed nice
November 8, 20214 yr Author Finances Will UATX receive public funding? UATX has no plans to accept public funding. But we are researching the effect of public funding on students and on research grants. So how will you have the money to run a university? We have secured the seed money necessary to launch the university. But we are in the process of securing $250 million, which will enable us to grow into a comprehensive university. If $250M is all it takes, Elon Musk's TITS program starts to look like a real possibility
November 8, 20214 yr they don’t even have a .edu address. That should tell you all you need to know about whatever the fuck this is.

November 8, 20214 yr At first I thought this was part of THE University. More from one of the foundershttps://bariweiss.substack.com/p/we-cant-wait-for-universities-to
November 8, 20214 yr Lots of foreign names in the board of grifters or whatever. I think it's an Islamic Terrorist front, actually.
November 8, 20214 yr Lex Freidman - no shit? Piss him off and he'll choke you the fuck out. BJJ black belt and all around savage. He teaches at MIT, or at least he did, so are these all adjunct profs?

November 8, 20214 yr 2100 block of Rio Grande? I haven’t been in Austin in a few years, and I am aware that west campus is undergoing a lot of changes, but I am having a hard time picturing the real estate that would be available on that block to establish a university.

Could it be they started "The University of Austin" and don't own the trademark to that name? Good find. I doubt that it is the same outfit. Some oddities. It's on the Supplemental Register, and was applied for on the Supplemental Register, which is some acknowledgement that it's primarily descriptive, or geographically descriptive, or geographically misdescriptive. It's also bizarre, as applicants usually wait for the Office to make that rejection before moving to the Supplemental Register. It's not a full-on trademark registration. Second, it is long overdue for a Section 8 Affidavit of Use, so will eventually be cancelled. Not sure why it hasn't been. In any event, this isn't going to complicate the situation between UT Austin and University of Austin.

November 8, 20214 yr Well, if you ever wondered how many cucks it takes to start a University, you are about to find out.
November 8, 20214 yr 53 minutes ago, TwiceHorn said: In any event, this isn't going to complicate the situation between UT Austin and University of Austin. UT-Dallas and University of Dallas coexist, so barring prior claims to the name/mark, that doesn't seem to be a big issue. The fact that it appears to be a giant grift does appear to be an issue.
November 8, 20214 yr In this same area, what's the word on the Acton School of Business? Is Acton accredited? For almost two decades Acton has been accredited through Hardin-Simmons University by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, and most recently was in good standing with the Higher Learning Commission. However, in order to allow us to innovate freely and continue to disrupt business education, we are relinquishing any and all accreditation to free us from bureaucratic constraints. Accreditation? That's just more red tape!
November 8, 20214 yr It is in the middle of West Campus. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2112-Rio-Grande-St-Austin-TX-78705/306640586_zpid/
