Uni Salzburg: 40 Years or 400?
In 1975, a new law regulated the organisation of universities in Austria. This causes Salzburg University to create five faculties as divisions: the Faculty of Catholic Theology, the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Humanities, the Faculty of Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine. The latter one was never founded.
In 1995, the organisation of Austria’s universities was re-structured again, this time granting more autonomy and freedom. The new law was gradually incorporated into practice over the course of several years until 2004. With the new structure, the University of Salzburg turned down the idea of founding a Faculty of Medicine. However, in the meantime a private University for Medicine was founded.
The other four Faculties remain. They are sub-divided into 31 "Fachbereiche" or departments.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
