You need someone like Joe Lonsdale вЂ“ a builder of companies, with a track record, indefatigable вЂ“ and you need someone like Bari, who has a kind of revolutionary streak.вЂќДЇerguson and the other founders met in Austin one day and brainstormed вЂњabout what we might do to address an obviously chronic problem,вЂќ he having вЂњspent years trying to get established institutions to change direction and failedвЂќ. You canвЂ™t build a new institution with just a bunch of professors. вЂњAll of those involved вЂ“ including the people on the advisory board,вЂќ he says, вЂњhave been growing dissatisfied with academic institutions for a while, but things moved to a higher gear in the last year, because the right kind of doers got involved. According to Ferguson, the impetus for this вЂњstartupвЂќ had been brewing for a good few years. To find out what this paean to the вЂњfearless pursuit of truthвЂќ is actually about in practice, I spoke to both Kanelos in Austin and Ferguson at his home in California, via Zoom.

Such degrees will demand proficiency in everything from maths to the classics, and are described on the site as an вЂњimmersive, in-depth and personalised learning experience with interdisciplinary breadthвЂќ.

In 2024, it will begin to accept undergraduates, eventually reaching 4,000, it hopes, to enrol in full liberal arts degrees.

In its first two years, UATX will offer mastersвЂ™ programmes only, starting with Entrepreneurship and Leadership in 2022, and in 2023, Politics and Applied History, and Education and Public Service, aiming for about 100 students. Starting small вЂ“ with a single building in downtown Austin, UATX will eventually expand to a full-blown university with laboratories and possibly a law school on a campus half an hour outside the city currently under consideration are some вЂњbeautiful ranchesвЂќ, according to Kanelos. Since its launch announcement, UATX has been inundated by thousands of inquiries from academics, says Kanelos, and five, six or seven times more from keen families terrified by the current state of American higher education. The first вЂњfellowsвЂќ include philosopher Kathleen Stock, who recently resigned from the University of Sussex after being hounded for arguing that biological sex is real philosopher Peter Boghossian, who resigned from the University of Portland after years of bullying for refusing to toe the woke line, and geologist Dorian Abbot, disinvited from speaking at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) because he is critical of aspects of affirmative action.

Launching a university is a big deal, but this one has burst into existence because of the gravitational pull of its founding mothers and fathers: the celebrity British historian Niall Ferguson the anti-woke, Zionist media star Bari Weiss evolutionary biologist Heather Heying venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale, founder of software company Palantir and the musician, sociologist and writer Arthur Brooks. Its first course, in 2022, will be a summer school called Forbidden Courses, small seminars with two faculty members presenting opposing ideas on topics such as empire, with a freedom currently, well, forbidden on campus. Thus, instead of an enthusiasm for trigger warnings, microaggressions, safe spaces, no-platforming, diversity and inclusion ideology and critical race theory, вЂњa full-throated commitment to open inquiry and civil discourseвЂќ вЂ“ in the words of its founding president, Pano Kanelos вЂ“ will be the central requirement for UATX staff and students.

вЂњDedicated to the fearless pursuit of truthвЂќ, UATX is the first establishment in the world to have been founded explicitly to counteract the stifling hegemony of woke law on university campuses, and a direct response to the particularly dire state of free thinking on American ones. It is not just another liberal arts college or small wacky outfit for the well-to-do, but a pedagogical battlecry now echoing the world over. Both passions came together last week in the extraordinary launch of a new private university, the University of Austin, Texas (UATX). Two things are distinctively true of Americans: they love thinking big and they care a great deal about higher education.
