Court orders Argentine executive branch to implement university fund

Buenos Aires, Oct 7 (Prensa Latina) Argentine courts once again ordered Javier Milei's executive branch to implement the University Funding Law, release withheld funds, adjust salaries that have fallen behind, and guarantee the operation of public institutions.

Federal Administrative Litigation Court No. 11 declared unconstitutional the decree by Milei that halted the legislation passed by Congress last year, and ordered the Government to comply with its provisions.

  Milei’s Government stated that it would appeal the ruling.

  The ruling, signed by Judge Martín Cormick, granted the collective injunction filed by the National Interuniversity Council (CIN) and the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), thereby nullifying Decree 759/2025.

  Consequently, the court ordered the Executive Branch to immediately comply with the University Funding Law by issuing the necessary regulatory and implementation measures.

  The executive branch had initially attempted to block the law’s implementation via a veto, but Congress rejected the veto and upheld the legislation. Faced with this situation, the Casa Rosada issued a decree to prevent its application.

  The CIN, the UBA, and other universities filed a collective injunction seeking compliance with the law’s key provisions, including the allocation of operating funds to educational institutions and salary adjustments for teaching and non-teaching staff, as well as funding for student scholarships and university teaching hospitals.

  The CIN, teaching and non-teaching staff unions, and student federations agreed to hold a fifth university march nationwide this coming Thursday, the 15th, to once again demand implementation of the University Funding Law.
