ADIUC decided to intensify its protest measures after the 48-hour national strike and announced that the July exam sessions will not be held for any of UNC's student bodies. The decision also includes not starting the second semester, putting academic calendars and degrees already scheduled by the Student Affairs Secretariat on hold. The union assembly justified the measure due to the "university emergency" and stated that "without salary adjustments and without a funding law, there will be no normality."
During the strike, signatures were collected to demand that Congress approve the University Funding Law. Meanwhile, as that legislative approval is sought, the university remains virtually closed and offers no certainty to those who need to take final exams or begin professional internships. Thus, in practice, UNC leaves thousands of students stranded and without the option of regular classes.
Non-teaching staff also joined the national strike, intensifying the administrative paralysis that halts the processing of scholarships, degrees, and research files. The union leadership proposed progressive and rotating strikes by faculty, a scheme that guarantees permanent instability and confusion in every academic schedule. Thus, UNC is experiencing the suspension of basic services while the labor dispute moves into a new cycle of marches and protest days.
