Statement
Public
The Council of Rectors of Chilean Universities (CRUCH) highly and deeply values the contribution that students, student leaders, academics, researchers and support staff have made and continue to make to improving the quality of teaching and research in Chile, and which has succeeded in placing the issue of the urgency of having a quality and equitable educational system on the national public agenda.
In order to advance the consolidation of reforms to education and the higher education system in our country, which will be analyzed and voted on in the National Congress, the Council of Rectors publicly reiterates its invitation to the students of the Council of Rectors' universities, represented by CONFECH, to seek ways to reconcile the resumption of academic activities within our institutions as soon as possible, guaranteeing the commitments made regarding protected schedules and spaces for reflection, with the necessary maintenance of an active and permanent mobilization of our university communities in favor of achieving the higher education reform that we all long for.
The Council also calls on all actors to avoid acts of repression and violence that seriously affect our democratic coexistence, and to favor points of dialogue and agreement, essential values of our democratic life and our university status.
