Mihai Maci

Mihai Maci is a lecturer in the Department of International Relations and European Studies at the University of Oradea, Romania. He recently made headlines for his critical analysis of the Romanian government's austerity measures that severely cut student scholarships, arguing that these policies threaten the future of higher education in the country. Maci emphasizes the need for a well-educated workforce, warning that the reduction of support for university students will lead to fewer graduates and a decline in academic preparedness, further exacerbating Romania's already low rate of higher education attainment compared to other EU countries.
