Representatives of university workers met with members of the CRUCH executive committee to deliver a document with their proposals for higher education
A dozen representatives from the National Council of Chilean University Workers (Conatuch) met with rectors Juan Manuel Zolezzi and Sergio Lavanchy at the Council of Rectors' offices. During the meeting, the union leaders presented a document outlining their proposals for a higher education policy, addressing issues related to anticipated reforms within the system.
The leaders – representatives of the universities of Concepción, Catholic University of Valparaíso, University of Chile, Catholic University Silva Henríquez, Central University and Austral University – expressed their position regarding the reform, indicating that they expect a greater contribution from the State to the institutions, as well as greater elements of participation of the university bodies and job stability for their members.
The university rectors pledged to disseminate the CONATUCH document among CRUCH members. They also agreed with the workers' representatives in valuing the guidelines known so far regarding the higher education reform and welcomed measures such as the bill that repeals the provisions of DFL 2, which prohibited the participation of workers and students in higher education institutions.
