Overview
- Federal judge Martín Cormick rejected the government's request to lift a precautionary injunction and gave the executive three days to file a documented report on compliance with the Law of University Financing.
- University federations announced a coordinated plan of action that begins with a national strike on Tuesday 8 September and includes public classes on 15 September, an act at Palacio Pizzurno on 17 September, and a Marcha Federal in early October.
- Negotiations collapsed after the government offered a 6% wage increase split as 3% in September and 3% in October, an offer that university unions called insufficient and therefore rejected.
- Unions say real wages have plunged—CONADU Histórica estimates roughly a 24% loss through July and argues a roughly 31% rise would be needed to restore purchasing power—while they also demand higher operating budgets and updates to student scholarships.
- With judicial remedies upheld and talks stalled, government officials are preparing to use the Presupuesto 2027, to be presented in mid-September, as the decisive forum to allocate the specific budget lines needed to implement the law and resolve the dispute.
