Minister of Education Anna Diamantopoulou announced some last minute reforms of the bill regarding Greek higher education, which will be voted on on Wednesday, August 24.
It has been decided that the Board of Trustees in universities will consist of 8 professors instead of 7, 6 who will not be related to the university instead of 7, and one representative of the students.
Also, the role of the University Senate will be upgraded, and will be responsible for all educational and research issues. In addition, the possibility of imposing a preliminary year in universities might be finally eliminated.
On Sunday and Monday, professors will organize protests at the Syntagma Square and on Monday, a Meeting of the Rectors will take place.
