The new chancellor of the University of Szeged has been appointed

Buzás Norbert has been appointed as the new chancellor of the University of Szeged, succeeding Judit Fendler. Fendler was dismissed by the university's foundation board with no explanation provided. She previously discussed attempts by NER-affiliated companies to secure contracts at the university and her efforts to keep them away from procurement processes. Fendler claimed that during her second chancellorship application, she was summoned by Fidesz's Gábor Kubatov to discuss her future appointment. In response to her allegations, Fidesz issued a statement praising Fendler's tenure and her defense of the university's interests against lobbyists.
