She sticks to her previous decision to conduct the exams in person the Assembly of the Faculty of Law of AUTH.

In her announcement, she points out that “the online exams of Law courses do not guarantee the unalterable and essential control of knowledge” and calls on the students to immediately lift the occupation, in order not to lose the exam.

Furthermore, it calls on them to reflect on the disproportionate harm they, their colleagues and their families are suffering.

The Assembly of Law stresses that the occupation of public buildings, including the premises of the University, is not justified as a form of protest or the exercise of assertive struggles, nor can it be legitimized by the decisions of any trade unions.

Furthermore, he points out that the “ protection of the constitutional rights of all citizens is, according to the Constitution, a concern and an obligation of the State”, which cannot be waived, “by transferring it to other persons (Senate, Deans, Deans, Presidents)». “Individual rights, such as personal freedom, enjoy on behalf of the State the same non-negotiable constitutional protection both inside and outside the University”, he adds.

According to the Faculty of Law, within the framework of the full self-government of the Universities also falls the way of checking the knowledge of the students through exams (oral, written or assignments) and the members of the Department are the only competent, exercising their academic freedom, to decide with how they will check the knowledge of their students.

In the announcement it is pointed out that other ways of carrying out the examination procedure may be adopted, in cases of force majeure. “Reasons of force majeure, however, are phenomena that escape our control, such as earthquakes and pandemics, and certainly not occupations, which are illegal in any case, the responsibility for dealing with which, as well as the guarantee of the orderly operation of the University, rests exclusively under the prevailing conditions, the State”, underlines the Assembly of the Faculty of Law of AUTH.
