New University of Austin is constructing a different model of excellence (thecollegefix.com)

They’ve raised over a $100mm in funding, got a ton of newspaper articles written about them, and even lost original founders due to a difference in opinion in what the founder thought they would be.

But they haven’t educated a single student for a single minute yet.

Maybe the next round of publicity should hold off until this university has actually taught something?

So far it’s coming across as little more than a publicity scam.


15 miles from downtown, anyone know where? Must be either near Manor, Bastrop or Dale.



What does "model of excellence" mean? Sounds a bit woke to me.
