Central European University (CEU) informed its former students that the university council will initiate the revocation of the CEU's license, according to a post on its Facebook page.

"CEU has not accepted students into its Hungarian-accredited degree programmes for several years, and the last students enrolled in such programs will graduate in July 2024.

Therefore, CEU does not meet the conditions of a university in Budapest, and as such, our Board of Trustees has decided to initiate the closing of our Hungarian university entity, Közép-európai Egyetem, at the end of the academic year," the post on social media stated.

They also mentioned that the Orbán government's efforts to expel the university from Budapest have succeeded, as CEU will cease its higher education activities in Hungary. However, the research institutes in Budapest will remain, and other non-degree programs will also be maintained.
