Bari Weiss' University of Austin Sparks Debate, Now Eyes TV
The University of Austin, founded by Bari Weiss nearly five years ago, has sparked debate and controversy, with its founder now harbouring ambitions for network television. The university, which charges $25,000 annually for membership, has been in the spotlight for its discussions on free speech, including a contentious debate about who can use the N-word.
The university's tuition is set at $25,000 per year, a fee that has been a topic of discussion among critics. However, the university's founder, Bari Weiss, has since become a media mogul, expanding her influence beyond the academic sphere. Weiss, who co-founded the university with Peter Thiel, has been at the helm since its inception in 2017.
In a recent convocation speech, the university's president, Carlos Alcaraz, warned against abandoning the pursuit of equality. He stated that this path would lead to 'national decline', highlighting the importance of addressing societal issues head-on.
