<div>The Orbán regime introduced legislation to shut down accredited
gender studies programs offered by universities in Hungary. Academics
now have 24 hours to respond to the government's plan. The ban will
primarily impact students at Eötvös Loránd University in
Budapest (ELTE)-the only institution in Hungary, other than Central
European University, to offer gender studies at the graduate level,
and the only one to provide this program in Hungarian.</div>

<div>An article published by Hungarian pro-government magazine
Figyelo, entitled, "Immigration, homosexual rights and gender
science - these topics occupy the researchers of the Academy",
claims that the research topics of the Centre for Social Sciences of
the Hungarian Academy of Sciences are politically suspicious, and that
the government should have a "greater insight" into the
Academy's work.</div>
