Thousands of international students’ scholarship contracts to be tightened after ELTE scandal
Lecture disrupted by protests
The historian’s lecture series was titled “Diverzitás és demokrácia az izraeli társadalomban”, currently still available on ELTE’s website, although due to the disruption on 16 October only two of the three sessions could be attended online. The issue began when some students attending the first session appeared wearing keffiyehs and proceeded to shout that the lecture was political propaganda supporting Israeli genocide.

The second and third parts took place exclusively online.
