Note to headline writers: It is incorrect to describe the Central European University as "Soros's University," just as it would be incorrect to talk about "Eli Yale's University." Soros donated the original founding money, but the university is independent
Viktor Orban has focused on the CEU's Soros connection because this is a political game, in which he can symbolically win a victory against a foreign, Jewish banker. There is no other purpose to this entire incident.
Or rather: the only other purpose is to intimidate other Hungarian academics and intellectuals. Now they know that if they don't toe the government line, they risk expulsion too.
