The newly appointed rector of the National Intercultural University of the Amazon, Hernán Ávila, has publicly accused Peru’s National Superintendency of University Higher Education (SUNEDU) of making inconsistent decisions. Ávila claims these actions have fueled a nearly two-year institutional crisis at the university, hindering its governance. He alleges this situation directly harms thousands of students. The rector voiced his concerns during an interview with the Lima Gris program, detailing a series of contradictory rulings from SUNEDU. Ávila’s statements suggest a prolonged dispute between the university and the regulatory body. The core issue appears to be a lack of resolution preventing the university from functioning effectively. This dispute is impacting the educational opportunities of a significant student population.
