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.
Soros is hoping that others will also donate to the endeavor.
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 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.
Soros said at Davos, "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." "I consider the Open Society University Network to be the most important and enduring project of my life and I should like to see it implemented while I am still around," Soros said.
According to OSF, Soros has donated more than $32 billion over the past 30 years "To education and social justice causes." In his Swiss speech, Soros outlined a litany of concerns that OSUN could be used to address, and offered caustic criticism of President Donald Trump.
