University Founded By Soros Says Targeted By New Hungary Law

University President and Rector Michael Ignatieff said in a statement that the closure of the school founded by U.S. billionaire George Soros "would damage Hungarian academic life and negatively impact the government of Hungary's relations" with its neighbors, its fellow European Union members and the United States. The proposed amendment would also eliminate a waiver allowing academic staff from non-EU countries to be employed at the university without a work permit and force the institution to change its name. Orban's governing Fidesz party says it wants new rules on non-governmental organizations that receive international funding, such as the Soros-supported corruption watchdog Transparency International and the Hungarian Civil Liberties Union.
