Harry Reid Says Early Voting States Iowa, New Hampshire ‘Not Representative of the Country Anymore’

Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) said on Nov. 18 that early voting states Iowa and New Hampshire are “not representative” of the United States in the modern era. “I don’t think it matters what happens in Iowa or New Hampshire because those states are not representative of the country anymore,” the longtime Nevada senator told reporters in Las Vegas. Reid said his state of Nevada is the third to weigh in on the election but the first that looks like the rest of the country, with a sizeable Latino population and significant groups of Asian American and black voters. While Nevada’s population is about 48 percent white, Iowa has a white population of about 85 percent and New Hampshire has a white population of about 90 percent, according to…

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 move 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.

The legislation was perceived by some “as something  that would finally put a stop to fake foreign universities awarding fake degrees,” according to Hungary Today, while others believed the legislation targeted “CEU’s ‘special’ status within the Hungarian educational system.”

The university has also long offered U.S.-accredited graduate degree programs and was the “highest ranked university based in Hungary,” according to Hungary Today. CEU also offered “free or cheap English-language graduate education in Budapest to thousands of students from eastern Europe and beyond,” according to EurActiv.

The CEU officially opened a new campus in Vienna on Nov. 15, where it will continue to offer U.S.-accredited graduate degree programs, though the university still maintains a presence in Budapest.

During a speech in Vienna, Soros said the university was “morally obligated” to keep a presence in Hungary and said his charitable foundation would commit approximately $830 million to the CEU.
