[ASEEES] ASEEES Stands with Central European University; Actions You can Take

[Park, Lynda]

Dear ASEEES members:


We have been alarmed by the Hungarian government's legislative efforts that would make it impossible for Central European University to continue operations in Hungary. We issued a letter of concern on March 31, the text of which, along with more information, can be found at: www.aseees.org/advocacy/aseees-expresses-support-central-european-university<http://www.aseees.org/advocacy/aseees-expresses-support-central-european-university>


Unfortunately the Hungarian Parliament passed the legislative amendments on April 4. For those of you wishing to take action, please write to János Áder, President of Hungary, who can still veto the decision in the coming five days: www.keh.hu/messages_to_the_presidents_office<https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.keh.hu%2Fmessages_to_the_presidents_office&h=ATO7uHn37wKBU7MGokDtm_jiuiMNn1BQP0rk2iKHvos9_eY60iywLpTkJPCuDCoNNYTobOStNR8MDL6Ci0RwdLIPY3syBirmQcskzi3iF97-TaoHMmhW1LesmOKu2mlpUKs4Gd47Qle-2Q&enc=AZPXW7NFRL5ZT7kFUgh6d3MXGdOJixQKzBi5gdG8qdy9r3iwoAcy9fvzMlT7PzrhWTHext2Kgn5u2t6PMFlrXZBGbfjrmDm3FYaWhu-3GBjQhiail0Y5thsQTCjuV3Rmf8aAsKPCji_nHtebBnq0XM9d0jibF153-6690e5W0srhb-rqOrzWvZVyXqU4CsHO29E&s=1>
