The **University of Havana Strike** was a [student
strike](https://libsoc-wiki.fandom.com/wiki/Student%20Strike) in Havana,
[Cuba](https://libsoc-wiki.fandom.com/wiki/Cuba),

## Background

The strike began after the announcement of the Robledo Decree, which
[cut government funding](https://libsoc-wiki.fandom.com/wiki/Austerity)
for university. This caused university workers to be fired, a reduction
in wages for the rest of them and the cutting of PhD
programs.[\[1](https://libsoc-wiki.fandom.com/wiki/University%20of%20Havana%20Strike%20\(1892\)?veaction=edit&redlink=1#)\]

expressing their frustration all over the universities
walls.[\[1](https://libsoc-wiki.fandom.com/wiki/University%20of%20Havana%20Strike%20\(1892\)?veaction=edit&redlink=1#)\]

## Results

funding for
universities.[\[1](https://libsoc-wiki.fandom.com/wiki/University%20of%20Havana%20Strike%20\(1892\)?veaction=edit&redlink=1#)\]
