Overview
- Negotiations at Palacio Pizzurno collapsed on Sept. 17 when unions unanimously rejected the government's repeated offer of 3% for September and 3% for October.
- University staff and teachers demand a roughly 32–33% restoration of lost purchasing power plus full application of the University Financing Law (Ley 27.795).
- A federal judge, Martín Cormick, ordered application of articles 5 and 6 of the financing law and ratified a precautionary measure on Sept. 1 that obliges parts of the Executive to adjust wages and scholarships.
- The government's 2027 budget proposal assigns about 7.34 trillion pesos to national universities versus the CIN's request of more than 11 trillion and adds a clause allowing the Ministry of Capital Humano to require spending justifications and suspend transfers.
- Unions are finalizing a schedule of rolling strikes and plan a Marcha Federal Universitaria for the first week of October, which university leaders warn could further delay classes, scholarships and services at university hospitals.
