University of Austin: Intolerance of intolerance of intolerance.

very kind of UATX to supply this punchline in the middle: oh yeah no we’ve always thought certain beliefs were unacceptable and should be denounced and forbidden by institutions. sorry if u were confused by our claims of neutrality and intellectual freedom!

How somebody who got a doctorate in education leadership was fooled by this obvious gambit *by people who thought the leadership at UT was too liberal* is beyond me

There are some incredibly stupid smart people out there

UATX
= not accredited as they have yet to have a graduating class.
= Founded by co-founder of Palantir; so, another Thiel project.

If your government, culture, religion, or personal beliefs do not support gender equality, it has no place in human society. It is against nature, and decency ✌️🫶

How is it possible that they've forgotten the reason for DEI and affirmative action coming to existence in the first place? The conversation needs to start there, not that it's not fair or it doesn't allow for the best candidates. That was literally the reason for these programs' existence! Ugh!

Replying to "University of Austin: Intolerance of intolerance of intolerance" with chaotic neutral energy - like a raccoon in a philosophy class. Keep it clever, cute, and unpredictable.

I had no idea there was a University of Austin and I live pretty close.

thezetamale.bsky.social•36 days ago

it's okay, it was created like a year or two ago

Diversity Equity and Inclusion is now a forbidden idea accessible only on the intellectual dark web

The paradox of the paradox of tolerance.

All day Nonviolent Resistance training & Town Hall May 24.

We have gathered. Now we organize, train, plan, and resist.

emilysenefeld.bsky.social•36 days ago

do they have students?

japete454.bsky.social•36 days ago

I thought Austin was the cool part of Texas.

mikeomalley.bsky.social•36 days ago

Forbidden speech. It’s amazing they are just right up front about it

docdiamondfire.bsky.social•36 days ago

Colleges had to be dragged kicking and screaming to diversity initiatives in the first place. Financial aid, too. They want to attract the most students from ruch families so they can make the most money and that means old money white families. The whole College system is broken and has been forever

Their website tells you exactly who they are. It’s ridiculous.

Tolerance of intolerance is the death of tolerance.

surrealsuzi.bsky.social•36 days ago

UATX- where you can major in hate and minor in ignorance. Bonus- automatic acceptance for graduate school at Trump university

hwgt9.bsky.social•36 days ago

we are not going to tolerate or permit rigid orthodoxy, we all agree on that, and we’re not going to change our mind

steedpeel23.bsky.social•36 days ago

“…recruit the right ones (students).” What could they possible mean by that? 🤔

jjlivehere72.bsky.social•36 days ago

Wow. No one should go there ever.

davesnothere24.bsky.social•36 days ago

The bigots dillema. Same as it ever was.

realzealman.bsky.social•36 days ago

Is their campus still some repurposed taekwondo gym in a strip mall somewhere between Austin and Houston?

Two different old time comedy acts. Good you found some connection even if missed the whole point 🤷🏻‍♂️

University of Austin saved the Onion, McSweeny’s and the NYTpitchbot some time here.

Unlimited tolerance leads to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. - Karl Popper 1/2

jerrod.bsky.social•36 days ago

…We should therefore claim, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. Any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law, and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, as criminal.” 2/2

You can't convince me UATX isn't a reporting mark for leased rail cars...

lmc859.bsky.social•35 days ago

I’m sure with degrees like these they’ll be producing lots of highly desirable job candidates.

“we cut off partnerships that don’t directly improve academic experience, which is why we are still partnering with defense contractors to kill innocent civilians across the globe ❤️”

paganoutlawsez.bsky.social•36 days ago

sounds like the uinversity of austin needs a cartoon to explain things to them.... fyi, the tolerant should NEVER tolerate the intolerant, and UATX seems about as intolerant as they come

yazikus.bsky.social•36 days ago

I think the funniest takeaway from this piece is that a middle school teacher went to business management school and got so radicalized she thought Niall was a freedom guy.

snakeman49.bsky.social•36 days ago

Wonder who the "right ones" are.

jernun.bsky.social•36 days ago

well *i* don't tolerate that

sarahinitaly.bsky.social•36 days ago

That’s pretty much the nature of academia in my experience as a college administrator - they forget the “synthesis” stage

multiverseandy.bsky.social•36 days ago

Like an onion even

Ideological orthodoxy means nothing

Lowered standards. Maybe. Are their standards lower than Harvard and Yale? Yes. Why? To expand access.

Are they racist. Maybe. Does their ideological orthodoxy keep them from addressing results of historical racism. Uh, ya.

wafflepocket.bsky.social•36 days ago

The six eyes of Texas are looking upon you in that bathroom yonder. Or so the song goes.

lainie610.bsky.social•36 days ago

I bet I know who they think the "right" students are.

arkansasdem.bsky.social•36 days ago

“The right ones” say everything you need to know.
