The universities need money for 3 years. They want 18 billion euro. Minister Eva-Maria Holzleitner talks about this now. She says: The sum is too high. The money is not enough.
The minister names no exact sum now. A decision must come by October 31. This is the legal time limit. The government moves the decision to a later date. Small groups talk now.
Protests start in October. Students and teachers fight back against low money. Some heads of universities feel worry. Without enough money, they cut jobs for staff. This hurts young researchers at the schools very much.
