The very article linked in the post I replied to: "Soros had conceived the school during the dying days of communism to train a generation of technocrats who would write new constitutions, privatize state enterprises, and lead the post-Soviet world into a cosmopolitan future."

And its wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_European_University) states: "A central tenet of the university's philosophy is the promotion of open societies."

It cites https://www.ceu.edu/rethinking-open-society, which supports that statement.

This reads like a dismissal, yet refutes none of my observations.
