The Central European University (CEU) founded by Hungarian-born billionaire George Soros has left its campus in Budapest and opened one in Vienna.

CEU moved the bulk of its U.S.-accredited courses out of Hungary after the country passed a law in 2017 that banned foreign-registered universities that do not also offer the courses in the home country.
