Those who refuse consider that lowering the price threatens their long-term continuity, so they have proposed other measures to help young people.
One of the first universities to make decisions was Los Andes, which will not only make tuition cheaper and make it easier for students to pay, but also made a temporary reduction in executive salaries and spending adjustments.
“The rector reduces his salary compensation by 20%, the vice-rectors, 15%, and the other members of the academic council and other directors of academic and administrative units, 10%,” he said in a statement.
But institutions like Javeriana believe that “it would not be the responsibility of the university to consider a discount in the value of tuition. This would be a decision that perhaps would be well received in the short term, but would impact the university in such a way that it could not assure its promise to accompany students in the coming years in the culmination of their training processes with high levels of quality”.
The Externado ensures that they keep intact the payment of payrolls and also announced discounts on tuition.
“Furthermore, those who are entitled to the transport subsidy have continued to be granted, all the implements to work at home have been given to those who need it and much help has been given to all who are the contractors of the university,” Juan explained. Carlos Henao, rector of the university.
La Salle also announced the reduction of his expenses, “which implies almost the reduction of his 38% of the budget of the current validity to be able to grant 30% discount to his students,” said the rector, brother Niky Murcia.
The concern continues to be student desertion due to unemployment and the reduction of income in many households.
