Billionaire George Soros said he will commit $1 billion to start a global university to fight authoritarian governments and climate change, calling them twin challenges that threaten the survival of our civilization.
The Open Society University Network will offer an international platform for teaching and research, the 89-year-old said Thursday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The university will be launched through a partnership of the Soros-backed Central European University and Bard College.
As a long-term strategy our best hope lies in access to quality education, specifically an education that reinforces the autonomy of the individual by cultivating critical thinking and emphasizing academic freedom, Soros said.
In his speech and a follow-up question and answer session, Soros covered a wide-range of issues, including the overheated U.S. economy, the dominance of Facebook Inc. and the autocratic rule of Xi Jinping, Narendra Modi, Jair Bolsonaro and Donald Trump, who he called a con man and the ultimate narcissist.

I’d like to start a school to fight billionaire Nazis and commies.
What a cheap skate. Nannie bloomers and tommy styro are gonna each spend that much easily trying to buy the president job. I mean win. Yeah, win. But won’t.
I laughed, too at the idea Soros is against authoritarian governments. He and the Left’s goal is the U.N. running the world.
Me too. Of course the government (yes American) would close us down immediately. Just like the NRA is getting constant criticism while Planned Parenthood just endorsed 3 Democrat house seats this week. I mean what the heck? I thought they were supposed to be nonpartisan to get federal dollars.
Revoke this Nazi collaborator’s citizenship and extradite him to some company that wants him for currency manipulation.
Him and his Oligarch friends want a world government with them in charge and everyone else is a peasant.
Climate Change is a stalking horse for World Government. Global problems require Global Government.
Also EDKH.
89 years old? When does he clock out?
“overheated u.s. economy” are the key words and the target in his destruction...
“con man and the ultimate narcissist”
That’s how you call the kettle black.
$1B for “school” to espouse your personal beliefs - narcissist.
Socialist beliefs at that - con man.
Very true. You wonder how much of a kickback he will get....take all the money off his taxes, but collect on the other end.
This sounds like an attempt for Soros to overthrow the government.
Arrest the SOB.
I wish. Of course at 89, is there a chance that he won’t even see this happen? Oh heck who am I kidding, liberals live forever.
I want to attend and get expelled!!
(Don’t know why, but what the hell)
89 years old! The one good thing about death is that it comes for everyone, even billionaires. Its way past time this old fool to get his ticket punched.
Those darn nationalists that love their people, their history, and their cultures are the great enemy of global socialism. They must be rounded up in Bernies gulags, comrades!
A billion bucks?!?!?
I bet they end up with a great football team.
We’re not out of killer drones are we, because I have a suggestion.
His son is a POS too.
As if every other damn university in the world (with two or three exceptions) wasn’t already preaching that kind of idiocy.
