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:
“If I get the forty additional years statisticians say are likely coming to me, I could fit in at least one, maybe two new lifetimes. Sad that only one of those lifetimes can include being the mother of young children.”
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)
