Hungary’s Cabinet Initiates Higher-Ed Law Changes
The cabinet has proposed amendments to the higher education law that affect structural changes and the financial management of universities, the human resources minister said on Monday.

The amendments include governmentappointed chancellors from September to oversee the financial management and operation of higher education institutions, Zoltán Balog told a press conference.

The chancellors would have the power to veto decisions that may pose a risk to the institution's finances.

The amendments also include reintroducing the system under which a senate has the power to elect a university's rector who is proposed by the minister in charge of education and approved by the Hungarian president, he said.
