Cluj Higher Learning in the Early Communist Period: Ethnic Division Reasserted in a Nationalized Market

Summary/Abstract: With special regard to the fate of Hungarian minority higher learning in a controversial period, falling roughly between 1945 and 1955, this paper has a restricted aim of encompassing a number of symptomatic phenomena related to ethnically-based higher educational policy reshaping the institutional framework and clientele of higher learning. My work is based on the assumption that limiting the scope of university affairs to ethno-national considerations - or, worse, gearing majority viewpoints against minority perspectives - does not guarantee long-lasting qualitative standards for either of these communities.
