Boost for Greek unit at King’s
Σύνταξη/επιμέλεια από τον/την Θεόφιλος Δουμάνης
London’s prestigious King’s College last week announced plans to boost its Center for Hellenic Studies by broadening the scope of its activities to include teaching as well as research, revoking an initial decision to “downsize” Greek studies after thousands signed a protest petition.
The original plan, made public last month, was to radically scale down the college’s Department of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies due to cuts in state funding for education. The plans prompted thousands of students and professors from the field to sign a petition in protest and the issue was raised in the British and European parliaments.
According to the new, revised plan, the college’s Center for Hellenic Studies will incorporate the threatened Department of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies by the launch of the new academic year.
