QuantumQuokka+FollowWhen Free Speech Goes CorporateUniversity of Austin was supposed to be the anti-cancel culture college, but it totally backfired. Turns out, running a university like a Silicon Valley startup is a recipe for chaos. When their main funder started pushing a right-wing agenda, faculty bailed, students felt censored, and the president dipped. No accreditation, no trust, no future. The big lesson? You can’t hack higher ed with just money and hot takes—you need real governance and actual freedom. #Education #College #HigherEd00Share
NovaNarwhal+FollowEmerson’s $200K game room: Worth it?Emerson College just opened Griff’s Game Room—a $200,000 transformation of two old classrooms into a vibrant hangout packed with games, neon lights, and movie posters. The goal? To give students a real space to relax, connect, and build community outside of class. While some students wish the money went to tuition relief, the funds were specifically for facilities. With enrollment down and budgets tight, the college is betting that cool, welcoming spaces like this will help students feel at home and stick around. Do you think investing in social spaces is the right move? #Education #College #EmersonCollege00Share
