Ese estatuto habla de asuntos disciplinarios, de la duraci\u00f3n de las carreras, de los derechos y deberes de los estudiantes, etc. En cualquier universidad del mundo una reforma de estas habr\u00eda pasado inadvertida. Pero en la Nacional dio lugar a un movimiento estudiantil que bloque\u00f3 los edificios, da\u00f1\u00f3 la infraestructura y congel\u00f3 la actividad universitaria durante casi dos meses. Los l\u00edderes del bloqueo justifican sus acciones con el argumento de que s\u00f3lo as\u00ed era posible movilizar a una mayor\u00eda de estudiantes ap\u00e1ticos y sin conciencia pol\u00edtica.<\/p>\n<p>La actitud de los estudiantes que bloquean los edificios se parece mucho a la de quienes se rebelan contra un tirano. Como piensan que las directivas son autoritarias \u2014y neoliberales\u2014 justifican el uso de la violencia, como lo justifica un pueblo sublevado contra un d\u00e9spota. Por eso no aceptan los canales institucionales de participaci\u00f3n y se inventan unos paralelos. <\/p>\n<p>Si las autoridades de la Universidad fueran desp\u00f3ticas, yo ser\u00eda el primero en justificar el bloqueo. Pero no creo que ese sea el caso. Hay, claro, discrepancias sobre la bondad de la reforma, es decir, hay disensos. Tampoco niego que los disensos puedan justificar paros o protestas callejeras. A lo que me opongo es al bloqueo sistem\u00e1tico, intransigente y prolongado, como mecanismo para resolver disensos que involucran muchas posiciones. <\/p>\n<p>Para superar esos disensos hay que discutir y si la discusi\u00f3n no conduce a ninguna parte, hay que votar. Cuando los problemas no pueden ser planteados en blanco y negro, cuando los matices son importantes, cuando no estamos en un entorno de amigos contra enemigos \u2014es decir de rebeli\u00f3n popular\u2014, el \u00fanico mecanismo adecuado para resolver las diferencias es el voto. Los movimientos estudiantiles \u2014sin duda saludables en la vida acad\u00e9mica\u2014 deber\u00edan estar fundados en la voluntad de las mayor\u00edas. Es mucho mejor justificar una idea en el hecho de que la mayor\u00eda la apoya, que en la afirmaci\u00f3n de que el grupo que la apoya tiene la verdad. Por eso creo que en el movimiento estudiantil deber\u00eda haber menos asambleas y m\u00e1s urnas.<\/p>\n<p>Creo, adem\u00e1s, que quienes bloquean e impiden que las reformas salgan adelante no tienen en cuenta la estrategia de los enemigos de la universidad p\u00fablica. Ella consiste en esperar pacientemente hasta que la degradaci\u00f3n de las instituciones estatales \u2014el Seguro Social es s\u00f3lo un ejemplo\u2014 llegue a tal punto que sus argumentos se conviertan en una alternativa aceptable y, entonces, cuando llegue ese momento, dar el zarpazo de la privatizaci\u00f3n. <\/p>\n<p>Por eso, parad\u00f3jicamente, los amigos de los bloqueos en las universidades p\u00fablicas son, a la larga, perfectamente funcionales a los prop\u00f3sitos solapados de los enemigos de la educaci\u00f3n p\u00fablica, ellos s\u00ed dispuestos a convertirse en verdaderos tiranos. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To be opposed to a government is not the same thing as to revolt against a tyrant.
