No exams or classes
As a result of the decision, all July and August exam sessions have been suspended indefinitely. The measure was accompanied by progressive strikes and a call for federal actions with other unions. It was also announced that second semester classes will not begin until further notice.
The conflict has a direct impact on those who need to regularize courses, advance in their degrees, or graduate. Some schools, such as Philosophy, Psychology, and Social Sciences, have already announced that the calendar is paralyzed. Meanwhile, students face uncertainty and delays due to circumstances beyond their control.
The protest includes a demand for the University Funding Law, promoted by the University Union Front. The bill proposes raising the budget to 1.5% of GDP and updating salaries according to inflation. Although it has not yet been debated in Congress, ADIUC is making the continuation of academic activities conditional on the approval of this bill.
Meanwhile, the university union has already announced new protest days for the coming days. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Human Capital keeps its position of negotiating university by university. The situation highlights one fact: once again, students are paying the price for a conflict that faculty members choose to bring into the classroom.
