Shalini Randeria, the president of Central European University, has cautioned that the Trump administration's tactics mirror those of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, particularly in generating legal uncertainty for universities. After being forced to relocate to Vienna due to Orbán's legal measures, Randeria notes that American universities face similar chaos through convoluted legal processes. This unpredictability disrupts essential long-term decision-making, particularly in academic recruitment and financial planning, as institutions are left uncertain about their legal standing.
"There was a lot of legal uncertainty created by Orbán, and this is exactly the same playbook which is being used by the Trump administration."
"Courts are slow and unpredictable, even though we had a very strong case. This chaos and unpredictability is really the intended outcome."
