October 24, 2017 - Vienna, Vienna, Austria - Dr. Michael Ignatieff, the president and rector of the embattled Central European University in Budapest, Hungary makes a conference appearance at the the Vienna University of Economics and Business (Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien). “Universities: Key to an open society, target of political hostility?” was the title of the conference which discussed the attacks on the Central European University by the Fidesz government of Hungary in an alleged effort to curb the influence of billionaire philanthropist George Soros in the country. The Central European University and Soros’ Open Society Foundation have condemned the so-called “CEU Laws” (also known as “LEX CEU”) as attacks on liberalism, as well as open anti-semitism (George Soros is Jewish). The latter was addressed during Q&A and Dr. Ignatieff drew parallels to 1930s anti-semitism and the form of today, naming the latter “dog-whistle anti-semitism” due to the anti-semites denying what it is...The LEX CEU law required that foreign universities have campuses in their home countries. The CEU recently brought itself into compliance by organizing courses at Bard College in New York. In response, the Hungarian government, after negotiations with the State of New York, announced that it will postpone making a decision on the CEU’s status until 2019. The original retification deadline is November 15, 2017. Joo Hajnalka of hvg.hu writes that this move was made to likely void a complaint filing at the European Court of Justice (ECJ)...Michael Ignatieff was named the 5th rector of CEU on May 5, 2016, with his term ending on August 31, 2021.
