For “Authoritarian and ineffective verbalism” Instead of tackling the problem of violence in universities, it accuses the government of the PASOK-Change of Change by the CTE responsible. Party Education, Stefanos Parastatidis, and Secretary of Education, Socrates Katsika.

In particular, they say that “the Minister of Education’s long -awaited announcements at the Rector’s Synod for violence at universities prove that there was neither a constituted plan to tackle the problem.”

In particular, they argue that:

“Instead of the government apologizing for the fact that it has not supervised, coordinated and asked the country’s university authorities for 6 years to find out if they have actually developed a security plan and that it would adapt to the operational planning of the Greek Police, which, although it is aware of the problem.

Instead of cooperation and planning, transferring responsibilities.

Instead of supporting and coordinating, the government suddenly remembers the “self -government” that it itself coordinated and obsessively seeks to abolish.

Instead of admitting the wrong strategy in its universities policy by at least implicitly recognizing its structural problems, the government chooses the path of fragmentary interventions for communication purposes, perpetuating the causes of problems. “

They note that the problem of violence in universities is structural and that “it is inextricably linked to the Rector -Central Model of Universities established by the Kerameos Law, which is significantly divergent from the dominant model of European Universities.” In addition, they say that it is inextricably linked to “with the low degree of self -government that the Greek University has, compared to the dominant European acquis”. They emphasize that his self -government “must always be understood and accompanied by the demand for complete accountability to the funder of the public university, the Greek people”. They also note that the ability to implement any measures is linked to the financial capabilities of the universities, “the underfunding of which continues”.

PASOK’s competent sectors comment that “as long as the government continues to treat universities as regional departments of the Ministry of Education, regulating even the smallest and most insignificant details of their administration and operation, even those security measures they have achieved in other countries are fate.”

“Extreme and ineffective authoritarian verbalism serves only communication and not the essence. Mutual announcements of disciplinary and economic sanctions, many of which violate fundamental principles of law – such as the presumption of innocence – and basic procedural rules, all they succeed is to satisfy obsessions and to convert to universities.

Finally, they say that PASOK has submitted “comprehensive proposals for both university administration with respect to its self -government and democratic functioning as well as for guarding and protecting university sites. Proposals with a modern approach, free from obsessions. We call on the government, even now to be reasonable and adopted. “
