The rector of Athens University, Christos Kittas, was hospitalised on Sunday after being injured by youths attempting to take over the university's offices in the city centre during a demonstration to honour a teenager fatally shot by a policeman a year ago. On Thursday, Kittas quit his post.
After Kittas' injury, the Athens Law School -- which is often taken over by demonstrators during protests -- announced plans to introduce security cards for its students.
The school's board also demanded that an anarchists' club on its premises be disbanded. A group of left-wing students reacted by taking over the building.
