Rajk László College for Advanced Studies ((ハンガリー語:Rajk László Szakkollégium)) is an educational institution offering accommodation as well as advanced courses in the fields of economics and social sciences, establishing a community for students. It was founded in 1970 by the students of the Corvinus University of Budapest (then Karl Marx University of Economic Sciences), with Attila Chikán as its first principal. It is the oldest existing institution of the kind in Hungary, giving a model to later colleges. The college also specifically helped with the formation of colleges in Hungary and abroad, such as the Bibó István College for Advanced Studies in Hungary or the Mikó Imre College for Advanced Studies in Romania. The college was named after László Rajk, a leading Hungarian Communist, who was proclaimed enemy of the regime and executed in a show trial in 1949. The idea behind the naming of the college was to express criticism towards the system at the time. The college played a politically active role during the time of the communist regime. In the 1980s, it served as a base for the opposition and organized several political fora and assisted political movements such as Fidesz, contributing to the transformation of Hungary to a democratic country with a market economy. == Functioning of the college == There are several inner institutions which are responsible for organizing the college's operation in different fields. The main power of the college is the Assembly in which every member has the right to vote. It meets three or four times a semester. For day to day matters there is an annually elected Student Board that has regular meetings every week. Its members are the principal, the senior advisor, the chairman of the Student Board and six other students elected by the Assembly every February. The Committee for Academic Activities is responsible for the education and research activities. It organizes and supervises the courses and promotes academic publications. Financing of the college is based on a number of sources. Various foundations, governmental and business institutions, give their support based on occasional applications. The respective universities pay a nominal fee after each of their students. However the members are also required to pay a certain amount decided by the Assembly. Contributions from the alumni also play an important role. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rajk László College for Advanced Studies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
