Billions in cuts to universities? Not on our watch! Together with the universities, we—as student representatives—are taking to the streets.
The government is slashing funding for universities. A drastic cut to the budget means a drastic change to everyday life on campus. Fewer study and lecture spots, more crowded lecture halls, less support. We won’t stand for this. That’s why we’re taking to the streets together on Wednesday—students, faculty, staff, and university administrations. More details and information about protests in other college towns will follow. Our future is at stake!
All the demonstrations in university towns next week:
Vienna
Wednesday, May 27
1:00 p.m.
University of Vienna Main Building (Universitätsring 1)
Linz
Thursday, May 28, 4:00 p.m., Main Square

Important note: The protests are being organized in collaboration with the universities. In many cases, your university will waive attendance requirements for your classes during the duration of the protests. Contact your course instructors or your local student union for more information.
