# Carlos Carvalho Second president of the [[University of Austin]] (UATX). A statistician who was a professor at the University of Texas at Austin's McCombs School of Business, he was named on May 2, 2025 to succeed the founding president, [[Pano Kanelos]], and the university's tax return dates his presidency from June 11, 2025. ## Why it's on the map Carvalho took over after the board, chaired by [[Joe Lonsdale]], moved Kanelos out. In July 2025 he endorsed a [[Manhattan Institute]] call to make federal funding for universities conditional on new rules, and [[Larry Summers]] resigned from the university's advisory board the next day, according to [[Politico]]. He was president when the university announced a $100 million gift from [[Jeff Yass]] in November 2025 and made tuition free permanently. > [!note] Stub > This is a short entry that hasn't been fully written yet. ## Connections - [[University of Austin]] · [[Joe Lonsdale]] · [[Pano Kanelos]] · [[Jeff Yass]]
