A Day at the ‘Anti-Woke’ University Funded by Billionaire Trump Backers | WSJ
The University of Austin (UATX) is America’s newest, and arguably most controversial higher education institution.

Rising tuition costs, political tensions and debates over free speech have left many questioning the state of American universities.
