It turns out that the University of Austin isn't committed to free speech after all. If you write a post that offends a big donor, you're fired.

The statement is part of a public discourse about the University of Austin's commitment to free speech, following an incident involving a social media post and a donor's reaction. The reply by @PeterStone_TX clarifies a potential confusion between University of Austin and UT Austin, which is important for the discussion's context.
