Argentine Universities Call 72-Hour Strike for Nov. 12–14 Over Frozen Financing Law

Unions say the government must enforce the University Financing Law now frozen pending funding details.

Overview

  • CONADU confirmed a nationwide teachers' stoppage from Wednesday to Friday to demand application of the new financing law and a salary recomposition.
  • UNR in Rosario and UNMdP in Mar del Plata will suspend classes during the three-day action as part of the coordinated national strike.
  • End‑of‑year exam sittings will proceed, with unions stating the strike will not disrupt scheduled mesas de exámenes.
  • Non‑teaching staff at UNMdP, grouped in APU, began strikes on Monday and will repeat them every Monday until the law is implemented or a pay plan is offered.
  • President Javier Milei promulgated the law in late October but suspended its application pending Congress’s funding justification, while unions prepare legal challenges and cite an unpaid increase of about 44%.
