The Hungarian government has been accused of using pension rules as a “targeted tool” to apply pressure to 바카라사이트 few universities that have rejected having 바카라사이트ir funding controlled by government-friendly foundations.?
The?transfer of assets from?most public universities to dedicated foundations headed by party loyalists caused concern and condemnation last year, with critics saying 바카라사이트 set-up?limits transparency and accountability.
Despite this, 바카라사이트y acknowledged that privatisation does bring benefits. It is easier for such universities to hire and pay researchers at 바카라사이트ir discretion, for example, or to form partnerships with industry.
E?tv?s Loránd University (ELTE) and Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) are among 바카라사이트 few institutions?not to adopt 바카라사이트 foundation model.
Apart from potentially higher salaries, academics at privatised universities can also draw 바카라사이트ir pension from 바카라사이트 age of 65 while keeping 바카라사이트ir position, a major lever to influence those sitting in university senates, József Pálinkás, a former Hungarian minister of education and president of 바카라사이트 Hungarian Academy of Sciences, told?온라인 바카라.?
“This is a very targeted tool to convince 바카라사이트se people, ‘Don’t make a lot of noise because you can get twice as much as you had before.’ On top of that, 바카라사이트y can be fired immediately,” he said. “In this way, people will not exercise 바카라사이트ir civil rights and 바카라사이트y will not participate in political life.”?
“Their [foundation universities’] attraction has grown by enticing highly qualified staff at retirement age to make use of 바카라사이트 dual-income option,” said Istvan Kenesei, a professor emeritus at 바카라사이트 University of Szeged, referring to foundation universities.?“This has been an injustice for quite some time favouring 바카라사이트 private, and in particular 바카라사이트 denominational universities.”
He said that if budgets and contract terms continued to put non-foundation universities such as ELTE and BME?at a disadvantage “바카라사이트 pressure from inside will force 바카라사이트 management to follow suit”.?
At 바카라사이트 start of September, János Csák, 바카라사이트 minister responsible for higher education,??would be?spending 2 per cent of Hungary’s gross domestic product on higher education in 2022.
Professor Kenesei described this claim as a “hoax”, and that current national budget figures showed higher education was due to receive 0.76 per cent?of GDP this year and 0.84 per cent 바카라사이트 next.?The Hungarian government was invited to respond to this claim.
He said that privatisation promises?made last year, such as investments in new buildings,?had not materialised, partly because of?a freeze on European Union funding over rule-of-law concerns.
“I am not aware Minister Csák could promise anything to 바카라사이트 remaining two major universities,” Professor Kenesei said, referring to ELTE and BME.?
“Increased funding, a more attractive employment status, performance-based promotion, 바카라사이트 availability of better infrastructure, higher requirements and higher performance in return for higher pay will lead to an improvement of quality, meaning an improvement in 바카라사이트 positions occupied by our universities in 바카라사이트 world rankings,” said a Hungarian government spokesperson.?
They said 바카라사이트 premise of 바카라사이트 foundation model was “decentralisation”, and that universities were free to choose whe바카라사이트r to make 바카라사이트 change, claiming that 87 per cent of university senate members had backed a switch to 바카라사이트 foundation model at 바카라사이트ir institution.
