It seems like Austin is becoming something of a center for anti-woke universities. First the University of Austin anounced it was starting a campus here, and now Elon Musk has filed paperwork to start a new university. …

If Musk can found a university that actually teaches useful information, without being infected with social justice, and can avoid inflicting postcolonial studies and Queer Theory on students, more power to him.

[I’m surprised that Musk didn’t just decide to help underwrite the University of Austin. They’re already set up and running on a very independent kind of pedagogy, one that would presumably appeal to Musk. Perhaps he just wants to control the programs more closely. — Ed]
