BUDAPEST—Hungary’s Central European University, a graduate school founded by U.S. financier George Soros, said it’s being forced out of the country by the nationalist government and will switch to enrolling new students in Vienna if it doesn’t get guarantees of academic freedom by Dec. 1.
The U.S. billionaire, who promotes liberal causes through his charities, has been the subject of a campaign by the right-wing government of Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Earlier this year, Soros’s charitable Open Society Foundations was forced to leave Hungary.
