They already existed before and they were so serious that even after the crisis we cannot see any difference,\u00ab she says.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"node\/7415\">Read how Greek students have been hit.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>No money to buy ink<\/h2>\n<p>\u2018Problems\u2019 for Eleni Takou are clearly a nicer way of saying ‘disasters’.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThe only direct problem is the cutbacks in the professors\u2019 salaries and the pause of payments for some stuff. And that is not an issue for the most of the professors since teaching at the University is not their sole income,\u00ab she explains.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThere is an issue with the Master\u2019s studies in the universities. Some departments have introduced fees for the students, the Political Science master has not, and there is a fear that we might have to cancel it,\u00ab she adds.<\/p>\n<p>Universities seem to be lacking the basic ability to function.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbWe do not have anything. We don\u2019t even have ink or pens, and instead of waiting for five months to get things, we go and buy everything with our own money. There is some money but nobody wants to use them because of the Greek bureaucracy,\u00ab she says.<\/p>\n<h2>Future is a blur<\/h2>\n<p>The future does not seem bright. Even though the state has promised only minor cutbacks in education and health, Eleni wonders how much worse it can get. <\/p>\n<p>The last thing that can happen now is the university\u2019s walls to literally collapse around us, she jokes.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThere is no plan for the universities. The budget for 2011 is not done yet. We want to fight, but we do not know what to fight about. We are just waiting to see what the future will bring\u00ab.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"node\/7415\">Read how Greek students have been hit.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>uni-avis@adm.ku.dk<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay up to date with news and upcoming events at the University of Copenhagen.
