The universities are often a cesspool of Leftist propaganda and of "cancel culture" that will harass and/or fire a professor for expressing dissenting convictions. But perhaps there is hope. A number of leading scholars plan to found the University of Austin. It will embody the peculiar idea that, in higher education, we should be free to ask any question, to discuss any theory, to intellectually challenge any authority. The great scientist, Richard Feynman, once said: "I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned." Exactly right. Will the University of Austin and its commitment to freedom of intellectual expression be able to succeed? If so, might it have a salutary impact on higher education in this country? These are the questions to be discussed by Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin.
