Greece’s highest administrative court, the Council of State, is currently reviewing appeals against the 2024 law that allows for the establishment of private universities.
The appeals were submitted by associations representing university professors and academic staff. During the plenary session, the court examined four applications seeking to annul the relevant ministerial decision.
Addressing a courtroom filled with students, the president of the Council of State, Michalis Pikramenos, said that the court’s ruling will be firmly grounded in legal principles.
