Good factual account of the opening of a new Saudi University. It also addresses the possible internal controversy this represents because of the academic and cultural freedom planned for it. There are many powerful people in the kingdom who probably are very opposed to the amount of cultural freedom discussed for the KAUST enclave. This has the potential to be a huge cultural turning point for the kingdom and bears watching going forward.
