Argentina’s largest public university wants the judiciary to order the government to transfer resources mandated by a 2025 law La entrada UBA takes classes to Plaza de Mayo to demand Milei comply with funding law se publicó primero en Buenos Aires Herald .
The University of Buenos Aires (UBA) is set to hold outdoor classes and offer free healthcare services from Tuesday until midnight to pressure President Javier Milei into complying with a 2025 funding law for public universities. From 8 a.m. until midnight, UBA will provide free medical, dental, optical, veterinary, and psychological services at its faculties, along with legal and accounting advice.
At 1 p.m., the deans of the university's 13 faculties will offer master classes at Plaza de Mayo, located opposite the presidential palace, Casa Rosada, and the Economy Ministry. Dozens of individuals have already taken advantage of the health services, stating that they did so because they lack medical insurance. UBA's actions are part of their ongoing efforts to compel the judiciary to order the government to adhere to the Public University Funding Law, which aims to increase university payroll funding, inflation-adjusted budgets, scholarships, infrastructure, and hospitals.
The university's workers’ union, APUBA, stated that "in a democracy, the judiciary must enforce the law. Without funds and without decent salaries, a university is impossible!"
