De-Democratization of European Higher Education. It is Time to Act!

Research output: Working paper/PreprintWorking paper

Abstract (may include machine translation)

The concept of academic freedom guarantees the liberty of individuals to fulfil their functions without discrimination or fear of repression by the State or any other actor. Yet, political interventions in the functioning of higher education institutions and the work that their staff are carrying out have occurred in Europe, most recently in Hungary. Prof. Andrea Petö argues that these interventions are a de-democratisation of European Higher Education with severe democratic consequences and calls for immediate action.
