Viktor Orbán's right-wing nationalist government is abolishing university autonomy in Hungary. A government-appointed board of trustees has taken over virtually all management powers within the hitherto self-governing Budapest University of Theatre and Film Arts (SZFE). The president of this board of trustees is Attila Vidnyánszky, artistic director of the National Theater and Orbán's advisor on all cultural matters. Since Orbán took office, he has been instrumental in bringing the Hungarian theater landscape under government control through reshuffling.
