You have identified a critical need, not just for education, but for the future of our country.
I worked for the University of Phoenix for years and despite some of the negative press, the university identified and served a critical need for many. Attending a graduation always made me both smile and cry, listening to the trials and triumphs of the students.
I applaud your efforts to provide a well rounded education, a space for critical thinking and debate, and the opportunity to include great thinkers and forward thinking companies, creating a 'life cycle' education for your students. Here's to the Green Berets of the Brain.
There are other colleges doing this same thing and have already seen success. Mount Liberty College is one example. (https://mountlibertycollege.org/) It may not be considered a "top" university without the lavish funding of Austin, but they have at least graduated actual students and sent them on to prestigious graduate programs. One further point of difference: MLC will never seek accreditation. Austin's pursuit of accreditation will ultimately doom it to the condition it is rebelling against.
