Notable that UATX and all these schools drone on about the canon and engaging with history’s great minds that have eternal relevance. And then this kid says that the most influential book he can think of is some American culture war slop. Embarrassing. And I’m not against the canon; I have some regrets at not attending St. John’s in New Mexico. Is it the liberals or conservatives who tend more towards book banning/burning?

That book was published in 1996, and in keeping with the times, mostly focuses on right-wing attempts at school censorship.

October 13Oct 13 Here's my question: now that Abbott and crew are going to turn UT into MAGA Prager State U for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Wanna Learn to do Other Stuff Good Too....what's the point of UATX?

Apples and Oranges. MAGA State U is for evangelical closet cases. UATX is more like the Xavier Institute but for incels instead of mutants.

November 6Nov 6 I'm not sure if this was discussed elsewhere on the site or not, I didnt see it.... With this offer of free tuition, high school seniors deciding between internships at Long John Silvers and Wetzel's Pretzels in the mall now have a third option they need to seriously consider. Game changer, imo. https://www.kut.org/education/2025-11-06/university-of-austin-to-offer-free-tuition-permanently-with-100-million-donation-from-billionaire Quote Billionaire Jeff Yass, a major backer of efforts to expand private school vouchers, donated $100 million to offer free tuition permanently to students who enroll at the University of Austin, the fledgling private university founded by critics of traditional higher education who argue colleges have grown hostile to free speech and merit. The university, which announced the gift last month, did not initially identify Yass as the donor. It named him in a Wednesday news release. The gift comes amid a broader push by wealthy conservative donors and political leaders to build new education models outside public systems and to exert influence on existing institutions, which they say have become ideologically imbalanced. “Loved the idea of starting a ‘free speech’ school,” Yass, one of the University of Austin’s early backers, wrote Wednesday in an email responding to questions from The Texas Tribune about his latest donation. “Only condition is the school never takes government money. Hopefully we can show the world that philanthropists can replace the government in funding schools if we run a tight ship.” Yass, co-founder of the Pennsylvania-based trading firm Susquehanna International Group, has become a significant force in Texas politics. He donated $10 million to Gov. Greg Abbott in the past two years, and much of that support went toward unseating Republican House members who opposed private school vouchers. The fight ended in April when Texas lawmakers passed a $1 billion voucher program. Edited November 6Nov 6 by Blotto
