Egy kapcsolódó kép a mai bölcsészkari zsidózáshoz:

Ungvári Tamás: Csalódások kora - A 'zsidókérdés' magyarországi története c. könyvéből:

Na, ő az, aki nem elég magyar egyeseknek.

A bölcsészkari zsidózásról

"Zsidók! Az egyetem a miénk, nem a tiétek! Üdvözlettel: a magyar hallgatók..." - írták ki Heller Ágnes szobájára (és György Péterére is hasonlót) az ELTE BTK-n. 

Hát, tudjátok, mit, ha a magyar egyetemek csak nem-zsidó magyaroké lehetnek, akkor a zsidó-magyar/magyar-zsidó Nobel díjasok pedig csak a mieink, magyar zsidóké. Mint például:

• Wigner Jenő
• Gábor Dénes
• Polányi János

Igen, ezt most mind hirtelen felindulásból íróm. Tudom, hogy a fent említettek szeretnének a magyaroké lenni, egyszerűen a magyaroké felekezetre való tekintet nélkül. És hogy nem szabad belemenni a kisajátítósdiba. De egyszerűen nem fér a fejembe, hogy miért olyan borzasztó magyar-nemzet ellenes támadás, hogy valaki, aki a New School for Social Research tanára, tanítja a magyar diákságot? Szerintem hálásnak kéne lenni, hogy Heller Ágnes azok után, amiket tettek vele a különböző rezsimek ebben az országban, még mindig jelen van a magyar közéletben ahelyett, hogy békésen élne New Yorkban. Hogy jön ahhoz bárki is, hogy egy ilyen kaliberű tudóst megbélyegezzen? Hihetetlenül nevetséges, hogy fel vannak háborodva, hogy jobbnál jobb tudósok tanítanak az ELTÉ-n, mert történetesen van, aki zsidó a kiváló tudósok közül. Másrészt ellenben tragikus, hogy egy Holokauszt túlélőt megint megbélyegeznek mint zsidót. 

Ok, legyen a magyar egyetem a "színmagyaroké", a végén úgyis kiderül, hogy senki sem "színmagyar". Akit meg kirekesztenek innen, az bőven találhat nagyobb kaliberű egyetemeket is a világban, ahol nem bélyegzik meg. 

Sajnálom, hogy ilyen dühösen írok Magyarországról és azon belül a karról, ahol tanultam, tudom, hogy rengeteg nagyon is tisztességes és jó ember tanul ott. Csak el vagyok keseredve és elegem van.

Violation of Privacy Rights Committed by a Hungarian Student Union - For The CEU Weekly

Original publication: http://ceuweekly.blogspot.hu/2013/03/violation-of-privacy-rights-committed.html

In the midst of student protestations against the government that made HaHa (Students Network) and HÖOK (the countrywide organization of Student Unions of Hungarian universities) cooperate, suddenly a really disgusting document became public that ruined the respectability of the Student Union of the country’s most prominent faculty, Faculty of Humanities of ELTE.

The document is an Excel table containing private data of 600 students who participated 2009 in the faculty’s camp for new first year students. Beyond the data provided by the students themselves for the purposes of application (name, address…) there are additional columns indicating notifications made by Student Union members to sign who might possibly become Student Union member later and who not. These notifications provide information collected from social media sites and involve religious and ethnic background of the students, their political preferences and moreover shocking sexist remarks in case of girls. The column where “yes” or “no” is written in each rows turned out to refer to the person’s presupposed Jewish or non Jewish origin, whereas the column containing 1, 2, 3, or 4 refers to the party that the person assumedly supports. Regarding the sexist remarks – I do not want to quote any of them.

Besides the mere non-sense of the collection and storage of such data, the significance of this now publicly known document is that Student Unions of Hungarian Universities have quite great part in the decisions regarding scholarship and dorm room distributions. And experience shows that students marked as Jewish, liberal or leftist were unlikely to gain any positions in the Student Union of ELTE BTK (Faculty of Humanities of ELTE). It is noteworthy that quite a few leaders of Jobbik worked at their younger age in the Student Union of ELTE BTK, which has been obvious for years, but until now it could be considered a mere prejudice that members of ELTE BTK Student Union must be radical rightists.

As it turned out, such database was developed not only for 2009, but was an annual routine of the faculty’s Student Union. Following the scandal ELTE’s leadership suspended ELTE BTK Student Union’s mandate.

The infamous excel document came to light clearly for the interest of those who want to weaken the student protestations by strengthening tension between HaHa and HÖOK. Unfortunately the HÖOK (which is a countrywide body of Student Unions) did not condemn the ELTE BTK Student Union as energetically as it should have been done. It is justified to fear that the aim of ruining the alliance between HaHa and HÖOK will be achieved. 

Myself – as an alumna of ELTE BTK – must add that the worst thing is that I am not greatly surprised by the existence of such a nasty list. I am shocked only by the degree of demonstrated

sexism, Anti-Semitism and right-wing bias. One might hope only for two things: that this scandal at least will lead to the birth of a better Student Union body following the approaching elections and to the weakening of Jobbik’s popularity among youth.

Yes, We Keep on Protesting - One of my Articles for The CEU Weekly

Original publication: http://ceuweekly.blogspot.hu/2013/02/yes-we-keep-on-protesting.html

The story of the Hungarian students’ protestation against the government’s antidemocratic higher-education-reform goes on. Since the 6 requirements of HÖOK (official representational body of university students) and HaHa (Students Network) were not fulfilled, but on the contrary, most of them neglected by the government until the deadline of the students’ ultimatum (February 11, 2013), university and high school students took a hard line again. The few days that have passed since February 11 saw masses of student demonstrators going to the streets in various cities across Hungary, the occupation of university buildings and the (partial) withdrawal of the State Secretary for Education, Rózsa Hoffmann. She continues her work as State Secretary of Public Education, while there is a new State Secretary for Higher Education, István Klinghammer. His entrée into his new function was rather arrogant, since he declared that the protesting students are only some immature playing young people.

In the morning of February 11 members of the Students Network interrupted several lectures held at the Faculty of Humanities of ELTE and organized a forum for the students to discuss the further steps to be chosen in the struggle for the future of Hungarian higher education. At 3 o’clock in the afternoon HaHa held a demonstration in Deák square. It is important to note that Students Network functions on the basis of direct democracy, thus every participant of their forums has the right to speak to the participants and all the decisions are voted by the participants. This method makes Haha’s decision making quite slow, therefore one should admire their results in organizing demonstrations even more.

By the evening of February 11 student demonstrators occupied the buildings of the Faculty of Humanities of ELTE, Corvinus University and University of Theatre and Film Arts. A part of the university occupier students spent the night in one of the buildings of Faculty of Humanities of ELTE and declared a new partial agreement plan concerning the reform of higher education that is an alternative to the pact signed on January 21 by Minister of Human Resources Zoltán Balog and HÖOK president Dávid Nagy. 

Why is HÖOK still cooperating with HaHa which is not an elected representational body, unlike HÖOK? The reason is the government’s incorrect (or nasty might be a more appropriate expression here) attitude towards any kind of democratic organizations, which was once again proved when Fidesz initiated to include in the Basic Law (that Hungary has instead of a Constitution) the infamous student contract, the most controversial innovation of the higher education reform plan, despite the pact signed with HÖOK on January 21 that promised to alleviate it. The student contract would oblige all the students who receive student loan while studying in Hungarian higher education to work in Hungary for twice as many years as the years spent at the university, without any kind of guarantee to be able to work in their profession. Consequently HÖOK has no other choice than cooperating with those who really care for the university’s future: Students Network and Professors Network, instead of those who have the power to reform higher education but are only interested in decreasing spending on it (apparently the government).
