THE RIGHT TO UNIVERSITY AUTONOMY AGAINST THE ORDERS OF GUARDIANSHIP RULINGS

Abstract

Higher education institutions, within their university autonomy, must comply with court orders issued through actions for protection. These judicial decisions are mandatory and immediate compliance. In some of these decisions, issued orders are sometimes contrary to the characteristics of the institution or its academic-curricular guidelines that frame the educational process, according to its university autonomy. The objective of this article is to show how, even if it is enshrined in the Political Constitution as a guarantee for higher education institutions, university autonomy is at risk due to the orders that are issued in some protection decisions.
