The government-pushed but debated model change of the Hungarian universities rolls on. Lately, all four medical universities voted to switch to the new foundation-based working model. For now, however, the reform is accompanied by haste, mistrust, uncertainty, and opposition. Former minister and Constitutional Judge István Stumpf’s appointment can bring new impetus to the completion of the government’s will. It all started with the transformation of Corvinus University, completed in 2019. As of the current standing, only ten of Hungary’s 26 state-maintained universities would keep the old model by the end of the year, the others will be led by foundations in which members were and are appointed by the government, but after that they will have absolute power over the privatized institutions.
