The National Government must apply the University Financing Law (27.795) "immediately." This was determined by the Federal Administrative Litigation Chamber, which rejected the appeal filed by the Executive Power. The court emphasized that both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate had voted in favor of the project by majority last year. Furthermore, it dismissed the arguments the government had used to avoid implementing the already sanctioned law, deeming them "unserious." The ruling also ordered the recomposition of salaries for teaching and non-teaching staff from December 2023 to the law's sanctioning in September 2025. It additionally resolved that the Executive must promptly proceed with updating scholarships and asserted that the suspension of the law by decree is "illegitimate." Last month, the National Government appealed a precautionary measure that compelled it to enforce the law, which was issued in December 2025 following an amparo lawsuit filed by the National Interuniversity Council (CIN). This ruling came after a joint complaint from the CIN and various public universities regarding the underfunding of the sector, and following a three-week national university strike that affected most of the country's higher education institutions over the salary recomposition.
