Hear from Founding Trustee Niall Ferguson on why the time to found the University of Austin is now. “Individual freedom is the sine qua non for the pursuit of truth. This is why we won’t fail. This is why we must succeed. A hundred intrepid young people will be in the founding class. We are in the midst of hiring the world-class faculty to teach them, and to teach them to the highest possible pedagogical standard.”

From the great Tomas Sowell " the best thing about having a Harvard degree was 'never again having to be impressed by someone with a degree from Harvard ".

My wife and I recently fell into conversation with a young British female graduate taking a year out as a lifeguard in New Zealand. 'Are you looking forward to returning to the UK?' I asked. ' Well I have a good job lined up, but not really. You dare no longer say what you think. And if you have children they will just be indoctrinated with propaganda in schools', was her unprompted response. I do think the tide is turning.

I was subjected to an administrative inquisition for teaching the exceptionalism of the Founders and the genius of our republic. I was told I was GUILTY of microagressions because I had offended students. My response? That is my job!

Maybe Niall doesn’t see it yet..he’s the pendulum. This is the beginning of the swing. Thank you Niall.

Donors who previously donated to many of the Ivy League Universities are now invited to take a close look at this University as a place that will respect their values and hard earned money.

My proudest moment at uni was during my turn away from left wing economics. I had gone looking for evidence to support a contention and found the opposite. So I wrote it up, basically ended up being a defence of free market capitalism and limited state intervention. Feedback from my tutor was ‘I completely disagree with your perspective, but nevertheless this is an excellent piece of work, here are some pieces by people who would also disagree and some evidence against your conclusion’. We then spent the rest of the course strongly and respectfully disagreeing and I learned a ton from him. I wonder if that can even happen any more. And if it can’t, how can people hope to learn?

Wow...! I feel like I just witnessed a modern version of King Arthur's first speech to his noble knights. AUTX is indeed academias new Camelot. I wish you all well, students and teachers alike. There is hardship ahead; but I am certain you will prevail.

I am a retired Associate Professor in Australia, aged 82. How I wish I could be there at Austin. Gloria Steinem always said the world would be changed by an army of grey haired women. I continue to fight for the Liberty and truth Niall Ferguson so passionately espouses. And as the 1000 mourners at Alex Navalny’s funeral chanted “we are not afraid”.
