Colombia: UNAL dean election irregularities spark autonomy dispute

Rodrigo Uprimny, a prominent Colombian legal scholar, publicly criticizes former rectors of the National University (UNAL) for allegedly supporting irregularities in the dean elections, framing it as a violation of university autonomy. The claim is an opinion/accusation, not yet corroborated by official findings. This matters as it signals a potential governance crisis within a major public institution, with implications for academic freedom and institutional integrity in Colombia.
