What are the immediate consequences of the underfunding of Madrid's public universities, and how does this impact students and faculty?

In October 2024, faculty, staff, and students at Madrid's Complutense and Autonomous Universities initiated a movement advocating for public university funding.

This underfunding has prompted protests across Madrid's universities, highlighting regional disparities in educational investment.", A3="The protests reveal deep divisions within the universities. While some deans actively supported the strike, others opposed it.
