What is the University of Austin?
Q. How did LeBron get the Rona after being jabbed twice plus he got a booster?
Higher education isn't being split into sides, there is only one side, opposing opinions to that side are to be silenced. What once was dominant in the liberal arts is now starting to happen in the sciences. That's the scariest part. It's also happening to our language where the meaning of words is being changed to suit a narrative. Words are now micro aggressions and dog whistles.

You have a computer and presumably know how to search online. Try it some time.

Is that a prediction or your view of the current state of education? Your full post pretty much represents my current view of education. However, I believe the seeds are planted for alternatives that are a more significant portion of our population and well defined philosophically in terms of objectives. Whether it becomes a movement that grows remains to be seen. In our current state, I'd say the opportunity is there for an alternative.

I see you have joined Grace's brain-dead conclusion jumping ashram.
The result I got from a simple computer search led me to ask "Why would anyone refer to a non-existent University?"
Or maybe you know better, and can fill us in on the latest facts.
Duck Duck Duck Duck.....Go!!!!
Here's the limitation: the meritocracy. Meritocrats, to preserve their own power and advance their own standing, want to fit in among their peers groups. Their peer groups, however, are mostly liberal. How do you get to be a meritocrat in higher education? You go to a fancy highly ranked school and then a fancy highly ranked grad program, where you are judged your peers and advance (as in all careers) in part based on how well you fit into the group. So, there is a bias for most academics (who are risk-adverse people anyway or they wouldn't have chosen the career) to fit in, which means being progressive. The question is are there enough qualified people (either from right leaning people or centrists who have grown fed up with the nonsense) to push back on this, and not fear for their own standing in the academic community (because they have options). Higher education isn't built up to protect the students....it's to protect the jobs and status of the meritocrats.
The mandarins of the Qing dynasty are particularly illustrative in this case.

An interesting article for two reasons. One, the irrational fear still being illustrated by some blue checks over COVID. Two, the fact that even the blue checks seem to be nearing the breaking point.

The Supreme Court is hearing the Mississippi abortion case today that could overturn Roe v. Wade, so here’s a little reminder about one of Planned Parenthood’s practices or "A Plan for a Parent in the Hood."
Perrin Larton, Procurement Manager for Planned Parenthood’s procurement partner Advanced Bioscience Resources, admitted UNDER OATH in 2019 that intact babies with beating hearts are dissected outside the womb to obtain the specific organs and tissues requested by researchers.
Q. Who are the researchers? Where is the research being done? $$$$$$??? Sic!!!!

A. The vaccine reduces, but does not eliminate, the odds of infection and transmission.
The vaccine is much better at reducing your odds of hospitalization and death. Not 100% for that, either.
Oh, ok dad. So the real reason to get fucking jabbed twice + booster + more boosters every three months is to keep out of the hospital and not safe from actually catching the shit? You make zero sense now and now have been become a complete liar and fool. At least we ALL can see the board and see WHO is bought. Are you bribed? How blackmailed? Your starting to sound like a pitchman for evil dude....
That might describe social scientists. It doesn’t sound like any of the mathematicians or physicists I know.
Your entire narrative never mentions research or publishing. That is a major omission; you paid no attention to the meritocrats’ definition of merit.
Southern Rhode Island Institute of the Arts is a wonderful college, despite its non-existence.
As watfly has said, the scientists were mostly immune, but you even see it now in medicine with the new push towards wokeness in medical school. That's turning too. I don't by into the hysteria of this piece, but it is illustrative of the trend. Mathematics is harder because, you know, mathematics doesn't lie....but it's creeping there too....the push in California for equity in math.

They came for writers and professors, and few said anything. Then they came for cops. Now they're targeting doctors

Research again is more on the scientific end of things (though even some of that, particularly on the weaker sciences, is increasingly garbage). After all, how many times has the origin of the Shakespeare plays, the meaning of a Robert Frost poem, or the economics of the Roman Empire need to be turned over to discover something new. Most of it outside the sciences (including law) is busy work....but it's also busy work which pushes away from education (which you think an institution of higher learning would prioritize) and doesn't add a whole lot of value.
I paid no attention to the meritocrats' definition of merit as a result because it's just an illusion. Really it's just a velvet rope (like much of human interactions) signaling I'm in, you're out, I have status, you don't.
The alien microchips are starting to kick in.
If you’re not ok with things that only half work, don’t think about medicine too much. Your decision to become vegetarian is a smart choice that will reduce your odds of a heart attack. But it’s not perfect, so they still have you come in for cholesterol screening. Yet one more thing that only works halfway.

p.s. here's more proof. MIT isn't immune from it either, nor are the sciences. Remember the fuss over Sumner's remarks about women and mathematics/stem. There's self-censorship in the sciences too, and COVID has blasted it out into the open...
Alumni Withhold Donations, Demand Colleges Enforce Free Speech
Driven by politically moderate or conservative baby boomers who believe progressive groupthink has taken over college campuses, some alumni groups urge schools to protect free speech, sometimes withholding donations as a pressure tactic.
