I wonder if my Central European University tote bag (bearing a city map of Budapest) will soon no longer be a relic of bygone times..?
Ah, this question has been somewhat addressed: "Kontler, the pro-rector for Budapest at CEU who watched its expulsion unfold from the inside, warns that the deepest damage will be the hardest to repair. Rebuilding funding and governance structures is conceivable. What is harder to legislate for is something less tangible: 'Restoring the respect for academic work, which has been consistently and severely undermined under a profoundly anti-intellectual regime,' he said."

Anne Ominousi'll take some hope in this moment...
anything is possible
