OSA IS BOTH A REPOSITORY OF IMPORTANT COLLECTIONS, PRIMARILY RELATED TO THE HISTORY OF THE COLD WAR AND GRAVE INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, AND A LABORATORY OF ARCHIVAL EXPERIMENTS ON NEW WAYS OF ASSESSING, CONTEXTUALIZING, PRESENTING, AND MAKING USE OF ARCHIVAL DOCUMENTS. OSA IS A RESEARCH INSTITUTE DEALING WITH ARCHIVAL, TAXONOMICAL, INFORMATIONAL AND HISTORICAL PROBLEMS RELATED TO ITS HOLDINGS, AND ALSO REFLECTING ON THE ROLE, OBLIGATIONS, AND LIMITS (AS WELL AS ON OVERCOMING THESE) OF REPOSITORIES THAT PRESERVE IMPORTANT HISTORICAL SOURCES. OSA, ITS HOLDINGS, AND THE RESEARCH BASED ON OUR COLLECTIONS, ARE THE BASIS OF AN EXPANDING TEACHING PROGRAM. OSA RECEIVES STUDENTS FROM THE CEU AND INSTITUTIONS AROUND THE GLOBE, WHO COME HERE TO STUDY THE ROLE AND USE OF ARCHIVAL EVIDENCE, THE CHANGING FUNCTIONS OF THE ARCHIVES, HOW TO BUILD TRUST IN NEW TYPES OF ARCHIVAL INSTITUTIONS, AND THE SPECIAL METHODOLOGICAL PROBLEMS OF STUDYING THE SOURCES OF THE FANTASIES ON WHICH THE COLD WAR WAS CONSTRUCTED. OSA IS AN ARCHIVE OF THE COPY, MEANING THAT WE ARE PRIMARILY INTERESTED IN THE CONTENT, RATHER THAN THE MATERIALITY OF OUR DOCUMENTS; WE ACTIVELY SEEK OUT NON-TRADITIONAL DOCUMENTS MATERIAL PREVIOUSLY MARGINALIZED BASED ON ITS CONTENT, SOCIAL ORIGIN, OR FORM. OSA IS ALSO "AN ARCHIVE OF LAST RESORT," HELPING IMPORTANT ORGANIZATIONS AND INSTITUTIONS WHOSE HOLDINGS ARE IN DANGER FOR ORGANIZATIONAL, IDEOLOGICAL OR POLITICAL REASONS, TO FIND SECURE AND PROFESSIONAL ARCHIVE FOR THEIR ENDANGERED DOCUMENTS. ONE OF OSA'S AIMS IS TO BROADEN ACCESS TO PRIMARY SOURCES BY OVERCOMING TECHNICAL, LEGAL, GEOGRAPHIC, AND SOCIO-CULTURAL BARRIERS. 1998282 1998282 THROUGH ITS 13 RESEARCH CENTERS, CEU PROMOTES AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE HIGH-QUALITY RESEARCH CAN TAKE PLACE, WHERE READINESS FOR INTELLECTUAL RISK-TAKING AND FOR RADICAL RETHINKING OF FOUNDATIONS IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED, AND WHERE VALUES OF OPEN SOCIETY, DEMOCRACY AND CRITICAL, REFLECTIVE THINKING ARE CULTIVATED.

SCHEDULE E, PART I, LINE 4 AS DISCLOSED IN THE UNIVERSITY'S FORM 1023, THE UNIVERSITY HAS A NON DISCRIMINATION POLICY. ADDITIONALLY, CEU HAS BEEN ADVISED BY HUNGARIAN AND AUSTRIAN COUNSEL THAT IT IS BOTH ILLEGAL AND IMPRACTICAL UNDER HUNGARIAN AND AUSTRIAN LAW AND PRACTICE TO DIRECT QUESTIONS AT STUDENTS, FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF WHICH ARE DESIGNED TO DETERMINE THEIR RACIAL BACKGROUND. AS A RESULT, CEU HAS BEEN UNABLE TO GATHER THE DATA REQUESTED IN THIS QUESTION. IN CENTRAL EUROPE EXPLICIT REFERENCE TO A PERSON'S RACE TENDS TO EVOKE THE GERMAN RACIAL THEORY AND IS THEREFORE VIEWED WITH GREAT SUSPICION. COUNSEL ALSO NOTES THAT THE COLLECTION OF RACIAL DATA BY THE UNIVERSITY WOULD HAVE A VERY NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE REPUTATION OF THE UNIVERSITY IN THE REGION AND WOULD BE IN OPPOSITION TO THE CHARACTER OF THE UNIVERSITY, WHICH HAS A REPUTATION AS ONE OF THE FEW UNIVERSITIES IN THE CENTRAL EUROPEAN REGION WITH THE GOAL OF ENCOURAGING STUDENTS OF DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES TO LEARN IN ONE ENVIRONMENT.
