Re: futurlab hungary
Hi Janos It seems there is lots of bad news coming from Budapest these days but I wonder which part of this is worse... I am wild guessing mostly for Chinese students? It is a public university with good reputation from what it seems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fudan_University hence it is strange that it goes abroad to do a campus... via Hungarian government and local tax payers? Would it be private and paid or free and subsidised? Sorry if this sounds strange to ask about this but I am curious on what is the essential difference to other similar historic and contemporary efforts. Best - Z.

futurlab hungary
Title: futurlab hungary Hungary's parliament passed legislation on Tuesday setting up foundations to take over the running of universities and cultural institutions in a move critics say extends the ideological imprint of the ruling right-wing government. Orban's Fidesz party, which has a two-thirds majority in parliament, voted for the legislation on Tuesday. His government will appoint boards of trustees to run the foundations, which will control substantial real estate assets and benefit from billions of euros worth of EU funds, while also having considerable influence over universities' everyday life https://edition.cnn.com/2021/04/27/europe/hungary-orban-university-reform-intl/index.html + The Hungarian government is planning to build a Budapest campus of the Chinese Fudan University with Chinese contractors, financed by a ¤1.25 billion loan from China, it emerged this month. https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/news/hungary-to-build-budapest-campus-of-chinese-university-with-chinese-loan/ # distributed via : no commercial use without permission #is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nett...@kein.org # @nettime_bot tweets mail w/ sender unless #ANON is in Subject:
