Argentina Supreme Court Orders Milei Government to Enforce University Funding Law

Argentina’s Supreme Court ruled that President Javier Milei’s administration must apply the university financing law, obligating the update of salaries and scholarships for inflation from December 2023 onward. The Court rejected the government’s extraordinary appeal and upheld the precautionary measure filed by the National Inter‑University Council. The decision affirms the Congress‑passed law, which had been vetoed by Milei but later overridden by both chambers. Officials warned that non‑compliance could constitute a breach of public duties. The university sector estimates a need for over 7 trillion pesos against a budget of almost 5 trillion for 2026, noting a 35 % loss in real wages for staff since December 2023.
