New Soros-Funded University to Combat Climate Change, Nationalism
The Epoch Times ^ | February 2, 2020 Updated: February 2, 2020 | MATTHEW VADUM

Billionaire currency speculator George Soros says he plans to spend $1 billion to found a global university to combat climate change and burgeoning nationalism in the world, two things he claims in a recent speech are “threatening the survival of our civilization.”

The preeminent funder of the activist left in the United States and a major contributor to the Democratic Party, the 89-year-old, Hungarian-born financier announced his ambitious new plan Jan. 23 at the annual globalist gathering of elite business leaders known as the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Soros is an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump.

This project, called the Open Society University Network (OSUN), will “integrate teaching and research across higher education institutions worldwide,” while offering courses and joint degree programs and bringing students and faculty from different countries together by way of in-person and online discussions, according to Soros’s philanthropic organization, Open Society Foundations (OSF). Soros is hoping that others will also donate to the endeavor.

OSF’s president is Patrick Gaspard, who was then-President Barack Obama’s White House political director. Before that, he was executive vice president of Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 1199 in New York.

OSUN is to provide an international platform for teaching and research and will be launched by a partnership of the Soros-founded Central European University (CEU) and Bard College of Annandale-On-Hudson, New York. CEU and Bard will, in turn, work with distance learning-focused Arizona State University, and other schools such as American University of Central Asia in Kyrgyzstan and BRAC University in Bangladesh.

Leon Botstein, the president of Bard College, will become the chancellor of OSUN.

As of press time, OSF spokeswoman Laura Silber hadn’t responded to requests by The Epoch Times for comment.

Soros is self-serving, arrogant, and truly ignorant. It was free nation states that liberated the concentration camps.

Soros knows that man-made climate change is a hoax. Soros wants to be the first dictator of the one-world-government.

Let’s give Soros the credit he deserves for
paying to engineer the latest population-killing
virus he had made in China.

Come on, man. You give the jerk way too much supervillain credit. That virus getting out was pure screw-up because who would want something that uncontrollable out there threatening who they love? Lord knows, though, we REALLY need a James Bond out there taking care of business.

So there’ll be one more university doing what all the other ones are doing?

I fail to see the necessity for this.

There’s nothing wrong with nationalism until you introduce socialism. Then it’s all downhill.

Why a new university? Just set up shop at Ut-Austin, or Ole Miss.

“. . . the 89-year-old, Hungarian-born financier . . ..”

Wow. Sounds almost innocuous. Like a kindly grandfather who succeeded in life and now has time to be a volunteer at the local soup kitchen and give some of his resources in gratitude to his culture.

Not how I’d describe him.

If you look at the endowments of major universities, even Soros plan is spitting in the wind.

Hence the UCCC. To wipe out nations (nationalism) and institute a one world government Soreass needs a cause that encompasses all the world, Climate Change. Nazi Quizling wants to be the boss no doubt.
