The University of Vienna, like all universities and academies in Austria, once featured a system of democratic representation. Power in the university was divided equally among three groups: students (the largest group), junior faculty, and full professors. All groups had the right to send representatives to boards, who then voted on almost every issue. From 2002 on, the government of Austria, headed by [[Chancellor of Austria|chancellor]] [[Wolfgang Schüssel]], reformed the university system, transforming the institutions into legal entities, but also concentrating power in the hands of the full professors.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.zeit.de/2002/19/200219_b-oesterreich_xml |title=Die Reform des Grauens |access-date=26 July 2014 |work=[[Die Zeit]] |archive-date=29 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170829001733/http://www.zeit.de/2002/19/200219_b-oesterreich_xml |url-status=dead }}</ref> The reform also introduced a board of governors and tuition fees. In 2013, those amounted to about €381 per semester for students from Austria, the [[European Union]] as well as some non-EU countries, while students from developed non-EU countries usually pay double that amount. The reforms also separated the medical departments into separate medical schools, such as the [[Medical University of Vienna]].
