Since 2016, the Austrian Students\u2019 Union (\u00d6H) has used the month of May as an opportunity to draw attention to the many barriers within the Austrian higher education system: admission restrictions and tuition fees act as social filters that particularly disadvantage people from non-academic family backgrounds. The Austrian Students\u2019 Union clearly advocates for socially equitable access to higher education. <\/p>
