YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The University of Austin (UATX) is America’s newest, and arguably most controversial higher education institution. Founded by a group of academics, entrepreneurs and intellectuals, including venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale who donated to Trump’s campaign, UATX says its mission is to restore debate and intellectual freedom to universities. Rising tuition costs, political tensions and debates over free speech have left many questioning the state of American universities.

Now in its first year of classes, WSJ takes an inside look at the people, ideas and controversies shaping the future of this university.
