I feel that "anarchistic" is a bad, and incorrect, choice of word.

Certainly it is innovative, lively and with new and novel ideas.
Surely "anarchistic" implies being opposed to the existing ways of
doing things in existing universities, which is simply not what uu
is about.

I feel that the phrase "is quite a bit anarchistic in nature" is
wrong and should be replaced with something such as

"is a venue for novel thoughts about learning"

or whatever a consensus of people express in postings.
