After being elected as the dean, he promised not to take leave and continue to teach at the college, going there at least once every 15 days. In fact, on December 13, 2019, a few days after taking office, the president went to the law school to take the examination for the professorship.

Fernández was embroiled in controversy in December 2022 when a group of students demanded that he be suspended from teaching. It was after he did not comply with the Supreme Court’s ruling that the City of Buenos Aires restored co-participation funding. “The President of the country’s threats not to comply with the Supreme Court’s resolutions violate the rule of law and the separation of powers. Therefore, we request that he be suspended from his professorship at the Academy,” they said in a statement.

Even so, the measure is on hold while students belonging to the activist group Franja Morada await a resolution from the college’s board of directors.

This Wednesday, the university confirmed that the former president will not return to teach at the college where he taught 39 years ago. The last time Fernández documented his return to the home of higher education on social networks was in 2023, when he shared a photo of him teaching at the university. “Today I return to the University of Buffalo Law School to teach the General Theory of Crime and Penal System course. This public university is a real pride for all of Argentina,” he explained at the time.
