M\u00e1s concretamente: desde hace quince a\u00f1os el monto de dinero que reciben las universidades p\u00fablicas no aumenta y ello debido a que est\u00e1 ligado al \u00cdndice de Precios al Consumidor. Eso es claramente insuficiente. Los precios de la educaci\u00f3n superior se han incrementado en todo el mundo. En los pa\u00edses desarrollados, seg\u00fan datos de University World News, esos costos se han duplicado en los \u00faltimos diez a\u00f1os. El incremento es a\u00fan mayor cuando se trata de las ciencias duras (f\u00edsica, qu\u00edmica, biolog\u00eda, etc.), cuyo avance es indispensable para el desarrollo econ\u00f3mico, pero cuesta tanto dinero que s\u00f3lo las grandes universidades, como las p\u00fablicas en Colombia, est\u00e1n en capacidad de llevarlo a cabo.<\/p>\n<p>No obstante la falta de recursos, la universidad p\u00fablica ha cumplido con sus cometidos: no s\u00f3lo ha aumentado considerablemente su cobertura, sino tambi\u00e9n el porcentaje de profesores con doctorado y el n\u00famero de grupos de investigaci\u00f3n acreditados ante Colciencias.<\/p>\n<p>Con base en estos progresos, los 32 rectores del Sistema Universitario Estatal (SUE) solicitaron un incremento del 5% en sus presupuestos. Sin embargo, el Gobierno ha rechazado esa petici\u00f3n y, como consecuencia de ello, el debate sobre la universidad p\u00fablica sigue igualito a como estaba hace treinta a\u00f1os, cuando el rector Uribe Correa participaba en las manifestaciones estudiantiles en la Universidad de Antioquia.<\/p>\n<p>Yo no s\u00e9 si Mois\u00e9s Wasserman, actual rector de la Universidad Nacional, tambi\u00e9n particip\u00f3 en manifestaciones estudiantiles cuando era un joven estudiante de qu\u00edmica en la Universidad Nacional. Lo que s\u00ed s\u00e9 es que ha sido \u00e9l qui\u00e9n ha liderado la actual campa\u00f1a de defensa de la universidad p\u00fablica ante las instancias oficiales. Fueron los rectores, liderados por Wasserman, no los estudiantes, los que primero protestaron ante el Gobierno por la falta de recursos. Por eso es tan dif\u00edcil entender la antipat\u00eda que algunos l\u00edderes del movimiento estudiantil \u2014bueno, no se sabe si son estudiantes o no\u2014 le tienen al rector de la Nacional.<\/p>\n<p>Alguien me dir\u00e1 que eso es apenas natural cuando tenemos un gobierno tan de derecha como el actual, que privatiza los bienes p\u00fablicos y favorece indiscriminadamente a los m\u00e1s ricos (las manifestaciones ocurrieron en el momento m\u00e1s \u00e1lgido del esc\u00e1ndalo de AIS). Es verdad que esa politizaci\u00f3n es inevitable; pero justamente por eso, porque su punto de vista es esencialmente pol\u00edtico, los l\u00edderes del movimiento deber\u00edan reconocer que la mejor estrategia actual consiste en rodear al rector, as\u00ed sea para que al Presidente no le resulte tan f\u00e1cil decir que los estudiantes que protestan son terroristas.<\/p>\n<p>Mejor dicho, lo que creo es que los estudiantes deber\u00edan aprender a escalonar sus objetivos pol\u00edticos, no sea que por querer alcanzar la revoluci\u00f3n social desde la universidad, pierdan no s\u00f3lo la revoluci\u00f3n, sino tambi\u00e9n la Universidad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am saying to show how old the debate over public universities is and how little progress we have accomplished in the solution of this problem. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1022],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","medium-el-espectador-en","post-scope-aaa-not-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) -
