Hopes for smooth elections at universities
The upcoming elections for university rectors are, first and foremost, a test of the democratic principles applied by the academic community as a whole.

We will know how ready the academic community is to embrace democratic ideals, depending on whether or not there will be any outbreaks of trouble at the Athens University of Economics and Business. |
