The dean of the Faculty of Exact Sciences at UBA, Guillermo “Willy” Durán, once again highlighted the political background behind the new Federal University March by stating that it not only demands the implementation of the so-called university funding law, currently suspended by the courts, but also that “the government of Javier Milei be ended”.
During an interview with Radio Con Vos, Durán asserted: “We need the funding law to be implemented and for this government to end.” He then became even more explicit, stating that he needs “this government to end quickly” and for “a reasonable alternative proposal” to emerge, a definition of enormous institutional gravity coming from a public university authority.
The claim was not limited to a management critique or a budget discussion; the dean took the opportunity to deploy typical Kirchnerist slogans. Willy claimed that the national government promotes a model that, according to him, seeks to end public university, education, health, work, and industry, while accusing the liberal administration of promoting an economy of “financial bicycle.”
The most striking phrase came when Durán stated that if Argentina wants to have “the right to the future,” it must be with public education and public university. The expression is not innocent: The Right to the Future is the political space founded by Axel Kicillof, which had its university launch precisely at the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences of UBA, with an event led by the Buenos Aires governor in the Magna Hall of that academic unit.
The Faculty of Exact Sciences was not only the scene of a party event of Kicillofism, but now its own dean uses a political slogan while openly calling for the end of the national government. The alignment between the false university claim and the opposition to the government was explicitly marked.
Axel Kicillof launched his political space at Exactas UBA.
This alignment provides a background to the malicious dissemination of the erroneous slogan of "university emptying". According to information released by the Undersecretary of University Policies, Alejandro “El Profe” Álvarez, teaching positions in Exact Sciences increased from 1968 in May 2023 to 2095 in February 2026. That is, far from a reduction, the faculty recorded more than 120 additional positions in less than three years.
