“Why would somebody with tenure, with a distinguished career behind them, working at one of the wealthiest education institutions in all of human history — that seems pretty safe, it seems kind of crazy to give that up — why did you do it? Why did you leave UT for UATX?”
Watch President Carlos Carvalho discuss Marxism, prestige addiction, and why he joined our university.

Meet UATX This Summer
Skip the stupid brochures. Meet UATX scholars. Talk with students like you. Get into the ideas that actually matter by discussing a great piece of great writing, like:
Bloom: What if most things you consume are destroying you?
Solzhenitsyn: Has the West lost its nerve?
Houellebecq: What happens when no one believes in anything?
Thiel & Andreessen: Is liberalism dead—or just waiting to be replaced?
Lincoln: Does liberal democracy depend on indoctrination?
MLK Jr: Is breaking the law ever the right thing to do?
Tocqueville: Will equality destroy our freedoms?
Karp: Who’s really in charge in a tech-driven world?
Crawford: Can building something real save your soul?
Upcoming dates:
San Francisco: Friday, August 1
Los Angeles: Sunday, August 3
Space is limited for 16-19-year-olds and their parents.
Join us, or let us know where to go next:
A Symposium on Leo Strauss
Natural right, the crisis of liberalism, and the recovery of classical political philosophy. Austin, TX. January 2-4, 2026.
“If our principles have no other support than our blind preferences, everything a man is willing to dare will be permissible. The contemporary rejection of natural right leads to nihilism—nay, it is identical with nihilism.”
