TikTok Billionaire Is Making Bari Weiss's 'Anti-Woke' College Tuition Free [View all]

She seems nice.

A few years ago, Bari Weiss founded her own “anti-woke” college. The University of Austin, which claims it wants to “dare” its students to “think,” has made waves for many reasons, and Weiss and her cohort have sought to position it as the future model of American education. That model includes a curriculum where students do stuff like study the philosophical beliefs of people like Palantir CEO Alex Karp—make of that what you will. The school also appears to be on its way to accreditation, which would help with calling itself an actual university. Now, in a surprising twist, the rightwing school has a fairly leftwing offering to its students: free tuition.
