Concurrent with the introduction of these reforms, the austere economic crisis and the current political unrest in Greece are perceived to affect academic work. The objective of this chapter is to present changes in academic work in Greece, as derived from the laws, and discuss challenges that academics face resulting from higher education laws and the economic crisis. The data consists of documents and interviews with academics from 16 disciplines in one large university (N = 23). Under such changing circumstances, this small study shows that academics, especially those with more than 25 years of work at this university, work hard to keep the university open and help students to complete their degree.
