Aristotle University of Thessaloniki dormitory issues

Overview

Following an incident where an unknown group vandalized student dormitories at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh) by dismantling wiring and entry systems, Greek Minister of Education Sofia Zacharaki pledged immediate repairs. The Minister stated that perpetrators would face strict legal consequences, including the potential loss of student status for those within the university community.

Subsequent political scrutiny has emerged regarding the broader renovation of these facilities. Michalis Hurdakis, a PASOK – Movement for Change MP, submitted a parliamentary inquiry to Minister Zacharaki seeking specific details on the funding and timelines for the four AUTh dormitories. While these buildings are part of a national program funded by the Social Climate Fund, the inquiry requests a breakdown of the budget allocated to Thessaloniki and a concrete plan to secure student housing during the renovation process, which is expected to begin via tender in 2027.
