ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece’s parliament narrowly passed a bill early on Saturday that will allow foreign private universities to set up branches in the country, bucking weeks of protests by students who say the move will devalue degrees from public universities.
The legislation was approved by 159 lawmakers in the 300-seat parliament.
