If we want academic freedom, free expression and well-trained professionals by evaluating their merits, the Higher Education Act must be filed definitively. Below I discuss some brief comments on 3 articles of the Law on Higher Education, the text that came to debate II (not the one that arrived today at dawn between cocks and midnight to the Assembly)
Art 4. And rights of students.
Literal a)
Access, movement and residence, graduation, graduating, without discrimination according to their merit.
Contradiction. Academic merit are a form of discrimination that defines who may or may not titrated based on their knowledge and skills. The law allows for certification and completion of mediocre because it prevents discrimination, academic merit or lack of them are just an accessory but not decisive.
Literal b) Have aCensorship. Regulate the quality, relevance and addiction higher education to the "needs" implies a body which determines the parameters above the legitimate citizens' personal decision, an organization that freely interpret and impose such criteria in the form of mandatory content (censorship).
education quality and relevance, to obtain a professional qualification in accordance with the development of science and technology and the needs of the country.
Literal c)
Count and access to the means and resources for higher education guaranteed by the Constitution.
parasitism. Will be subsidized to any student, good or mediocre (Article 4 paragraph letter a) in resources and means taken from citizens, depriving society of the ability to manage those resources-poor-in an efficient (scholarships for top students, training corporate sponsorship of outstanding students and poor, etc.).
Literal d)
Participate in the process of evaluation and accreditation of his career.
Absurd. They are teachers or certifying agencies who must evaluate students based on their knowledge and skills. No students.
Literal h)
The right to receive education secular, cultural, democratic, inclusive and diverse, that promotes gender equity, justice and peace.
When you point " secular education" is stripped to the right college a general set according to the institutional tradition. It opens up to the prohibition of theology classes, religion, or the like, of any creed.
Literal i)
Get , according to their academic merit scholarships, loans and other forms of financial support that will guarantee equal opportunities in the formation of higher education.
contradicts literal a) and c)
Art 5. Rights of teachers or professors and researchers or research.
Literal a) Exercise
teaching and research under the fullest liberty without any restriction imposed or religious, political, partisan or otherwise.
Censorship. Again, an attack on freedom of religion and freedom of conscience and creates a system of censorship which prevents an institution to have an ideological line, religion, partisan or otherwise.
Literal d.)
Participating in institutional assessment system.
The evaluation system can not be made by judge and jury in the same review committee. The evaluation of teachers and researchers for the institution, or individuals or agencies by the institution for that matter.
Art 7. Aims of Education top
Literals a.) to f.)
It lists a number of attributes, some of which are open to interpretation, the risk is in use, under subjective criteria as reasons to find alleged "failures" institutional and proceed to the warning, intervention, censorship, closure penalty of the school or the separation of the members of it.
Literal g.)
up spaces to strengthen the constitutional state, sovereign, independent, unitary, intercultural, multi-ethnic, secular.
censorship and indoctrination. Again, the violation of freedom of worship and conscience to compel the creation of these "spaces" whose attributes are regulated by the state, freely by the school. Moreover, the education involves critical thinking, skepticism and questioning, even-or especially-in the existing system, its nature, its agencies, mechanisms, ideology, members, etc. Spaces "strengthening the constitutional state" are places of indoctrination and not questioning the current system.
h. literal)
contribute to local and national development on an ongoing basis, through community work or community outreach.
forced labor system. As part of the law becomes mandatory use of resources (monetary, human, technical) a university for "community work", that determined by the State, which must be permanent, without remuneration or compensation provided for by law. Not all institutions can afford the creation of community extensions, there would normally be a cause to warn, intervene, censor, shut down or penalize an institution or its members.
