#100 - David Ruth: This U.S University charges ZERO Tuition
Dr. David Ruth is a retired Navy captain, former Naval Academy professor, and now Dean of STEM at the University of Austin, where he is helping build a university from scratch with a radical goal zero tuition forever.
In this episode, David explains why UATX rejected tenure, how its constitutional structure is meant to protect truth over ideology, and what military life taught him about reality, responsibility, and leadership. We talk about meaninglessness as a defining crisis for young people, why phones are quietly hollowing out education, and what separates builders from spectators.
It is a conversation about truth, faith, risk, and what it means to form people, not just award credentials.
