MEET OUR INSTRUCTORS
Renegade University is an alternative to the traditional higher education system that offers a community of people who would rather think and speak and write about ideas than police them.
We don’t “train citizens,” “educate leaders” or “serve society” as most universities pledge to do.
We value intellectual freedom: curiosity, skepticism, creative analysis, and the conflict of ideas.
Renegade University is a place for people to learn, to think, to argue, and to enjoy the life of the mind.
