LRU - Ley de Reforma Universitaria

This Spanish law of 1983 upheld the principle of university autonomy and divided responsibility for universities between the state, the autonomous regions, and the universities themselves. It gave universities academic independence and responsibility for hiring and promoting staff. It shortened degree courses from five to four years.
