      1. So, one week after being announced on Bari Weiss, the "University of Austin" is turning into an epic clown show. Two prominent members of Board of Advisors (Pinker, comically, below and Robert Zimmer) are out. A third (Gordon Gee) is openly distancing himself from its missionpic.twitter.com/SZIigYBGyU

      2. I'm reluctant to call this place "University of Austin" by the way because there already is a University of Texas at Austin (one of the world's great universities, actually!) and this new enterprise, among its other frauds, is clearly intent on brand confusion.

      3. So instead of calling this place "University of Austin" it would be better to give it a more accurate name: Potemkin University: it's not so much a real school as a facade of a school designed to fool the credulous and the indoctrinated.

      4. There are two broad critiques of Potemkin University: ideologically it's absurd to create school committed to free speech with people who (as some PU advisors have) called for constitution to be changed for anti-Muslim laws & Arthur to be taken off airwaves for being pro-gay.pic.twitter.com/P3qYzp2gs5

      5. Beyond ideology there's simple fact that all evidence from public documents is that Potemkin University (PU) is run by incompetent cretins -- i.e. they are applying for accreditation at a body that can't give them accreditation (see this great thread) https://twitter.com/jakebackpack/status/1457703519943790596 …

      6. University of Austin -- sorry, I mean Potemkin University -- is both intellectually absurd and also a pretend school. To figure out what's going on I talked to the great @jakebackpack, who lays out clearly the financial farce.https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/podcast-bari-weiss-and-the-potemkin?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&utm_source= …

          if me and a few buddies drank a bunch in a basement and drew some pictures of what we thought were cool cars and then 'announced' we were forming a new automotive manufacturing company I just don't think we'd get this much attention

          Is @bariweiss a griftress or a griftrix? She likes gendered terms.

          Kanelos' role in this deserves a deeper look; at St. John's (a phantom association they're trading on almost as much as UT-Austin) he oversaw a massive fundraising campaign to recapitalize the school—he's much less a college guy, much more a money guy with a portable network

          Great analysis and comments! Side note: regional accrediting is no longer exclusive so colleges can, indeed, apply to accreditors of different geographic areas. https://www.chea.org/changes-regional-accreditation …
