The University of Austin (UATX) is a private nonsectarian liberal arts university located in Austin, Texas.[2][3] The university has established a campus in downtown Austin's Scarbrough Building, and will enroll its first undergraduate cohort in the fall of 2024.[1]
The University of Austin plans to be accredited between 2028 and 2031.[4] Students are not eligible for federal financial aid, but the founding class has been offered free tuition.[5][6] According to Morgan Marietta, Dean of the Center for Economics, Politics & History, the initial faculty and students, shaped by negative experiences in academia, are expected to be mostly individuals holding conservative and libertarian views, but the university aims to attract mainstream liberals to avoid creating echo chambers.[7]
