Sen. J.D. Vance Advocates for Adopting Elements of Orbán's University Policies

Vance suggests U.S. could benefit from Hungary's approach to curbing perceived left-wing bias in academic institutions.

  • Vance argues American universities are dominated by left-wing foundations and not accountable to taxpayers.
  • He believes taxpayers should have a say in how their money is spent on higher education.
  • Vance praises Orbán's model of transferring control of universities to foundations run by political allies.
  • He clarifies he does not endorse all of Orbán's policies but sees value in some of his decisions.
  • Vance's comments come as he is considered a potential running mate for Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
