Peru’s National Superintendency of Higher Education (SUNEDU) has filed a legal challenge with the Constitutional Court, seeking to halt what it describes as a politically motivated and legally questionable appointment. The lawsuit targets José María Balcázar and Minister María Esther Cuadros, alleging an improper attempt to influence the accreditation process. SUNEDU argues the appointment lacks legal standing and raises ethical concerns. The action of amparo, a constitutional remedy, aims to protect SUNEDU’s autonomy and ensure the integrity of the university accreditation system. This dispute centers on a nomination deemed “politically convenient” but lacking a solid legal basis. The case has been presented to the Sixth Constitutional Court for review. Further details were initially reported by Lima Gris.
