Central European University re-opens courses in Austria after it accuses the Hungarian government of restricting its activities in Budapest
Classes began in Vienna for the embattled Central European University at the beginning of October, the latest saga in what CEU staff calls the only university in Europe forced to leave for political reasons.
CEU offered diplomas accredited in the US and Hungary, though at the time it did not offer classes in the country at the time the law was passed. Hungarian news agency MTI last in December "the 'campus' of the Soros university is a wooden shed on the grounds of Bard College" that does not meet the requirements of the law.”He continued: “Thanks to the extraordinary hard work of so many people at CEU, we were able to find a new building, fit it out and open it on time for a wonderful class of incoming students from 88 different countries.
Some CEU students who attend and professors who teach in both the US- and Hungarian-accredited courses are expected to travel back and forth between Budapest and Vienna, a trip that can take between 2-and-a-half and three hours. Orban has famously stated his desire to create an “illiberal” democracy in Hungary that looks towards Russia as an example.
“Lex CEU” was seen as an extension of Fidesz’s illiberal plans and cited as a complaint against Budapest when the European Parliament initiated disciplinary action for breach of democratic norms in September 2018.
