Description

The University of Austin, or UATX, is teaching its inaugural class of 92 college students. The school, with its focus on free speech, has been labeled by some as “anti-woke.” "60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

so many comments about people who went to college once and consider this a non-issue. as someone CURRENTLY in grad school, at an Ivy League, this is a huge issue.

I mean honestly the whole us vs them rhetoric between the right and left has gotten so bad that it will only serve to divide us further as a country. We need to be united.

This is how our society solves problems that becomes extreme. We have people that are willing to launch organizations and risk their livelihood for the potential to make significant change.

The president of my alma mater sent an email to alumni. She mentioned that the college had created safe spaces for those distraught by the 2016 election. It showed me how far left the school had shifted over the years.

Great segment. Moderator was challenging in his questioning. It's good to have young people free to intelligently express their different perspectives and still be friends. God bless.

I like the exposure on this, opens up that student censorship is still an ongoing issue around the nation.

No lie. I am 50 and currently attend Texas State about 25 miles away. I was an operations manager before and currently have many academic citations along the way. When I recently wrote a letter to the vice-chair recommending updating BCOMM (Junior level) from being taught like a freshman English class to something taught around hierarchical business structures, I was told to gfms. I guess I should feel happy they dignified my request with a response at all, considering I'm the PAYING customer. 🤔
