In this episode of The Miller Report: Real Clear Journalism, we dive into the rise of two unconventional academic institutions in Austin, Texas — the University of Austin (UATX) and the School of Civic Leadership at the University of Texas. Both are part of a growing national movement challenging the direction of higher education by reviving classical liberal values, emphasizing the Great Books, free markets, and individual liberty.

We speak with RealClearInvestigations journalist John Murawski about his in-depth report on these schools, the criticisms they face, and the broader cultural and political forces shaping this academic counter-revolution. Are these institutions simply providing much-needed ideological balance, or are they advancing a partisan agenda? We explore what makes these programs unique, why they’ve sparked debate, and whether they represent a meaningful shift in the future of higher education.
