Several billionaires, frustrated with elite universities, are backing the newly established university which has raised $200 million despite having just 92 students. Major donors, including trader Jeff Yass and real-estate developer Harlan Crow, see the school as an antidote to what they view as progressive bias and a rejection of Western values in higher education. The university claims it promotes ideological diversity and a 'fearless pursuit of truth' with a curriculum that blends classical texts and entrepreneurship. The school's creation follows growing discontent with the handling of free speech and antisemitism at prestigious colleges. Despite the significant financial support, it is still unaccredited, with its first students receiving full-tuition scholarships.

Andrew Dudum, who identifies as Palestinian-American, clarified his previous comments in which he offered jobs to the university protesters, saying his words can been 'misconstrued my some.'

I am deeply saddened that my support for peaceful protest has been interpreted by some as encouraging violence, intimidation, or bigotry of any kind. 'I do believe deeply in the right for people to use their voices in peaceful protest to drive change. This right is critical to our democracy and must be protected.... Generations of Americans have engaged in non-violent protest.'

The recent disgraceful reactions to Israel's deadly words - from American university campuses to London and Sydney's streets - have dramatically raised the suspicion that something is wrong in the state of higher education in the English-speaking world.
