EDITORIAL

In tertiary reform, reason must prevail Reason prevailed, after all. One after the other, the associations representing Greece's university professors are reacting to the disastrous policy followed by the Hellenic Federation of University Teachers' Associations (POSDEP). As a result, academics are voting down a proposal to strike until June 1, as it was put forward by the federation.

COMMENTARY

Under the rug If anyone declared only two-thirds of their income to the tax office to pay less tax, we would call him a tax evader. Accordingly, if he were nagged by inspectors he would have to pay fines and see his credibility damaged. We obviously agree that there is a crime here that calls for sanctions. But what is true for taxpayers is not so for the state, at least according to patriotic PASOK.
