Overview
- The Supreme Court unanimously rejected the government’s recurso extraordinario on Sunday and ordered immediate implementation of Law N°27.795, the university financing measure.
- The Milei administration says Congress did not specify funding as required by Article 38 of the Financial Administration Law and estimates the law would cost between 1.3 and 3.6 trillion pesos.
- The executive argued that without a declared funding source the only alternative would be monetary issuance that could raise inflation and has asked the Sindicatura General de la Nación (SIGEN) to intensify audits of autonomous faculties.
- University unions and the Interuniversity Council welcomed the ruling, noted the order covers salary and scholarship protections, and signaled plans to resume collective action when the second semester begins in August.
- Rectors warned the decision is a step not a finish and said universities still need a clear, enforceable plan to fund pay rises, recover lost staff and restore programs damaged by years of underfunding.
