Costa Rica budget motions threaten public university funding and operations

The PPSO party in Costa Rica's Legislative Assembly filed four motions to the 2027 national budget that would cut nearly ₡26 billion from public universities, potentially forcing technical closures, project suspensions, and insolvency on FEES funds. The motions threaten year-end operations and new enrollment quotas. The outcome depends on legislative votes, with universities warning of severe operational impacts.
