OLVERA GARCIA, Jorge; PINA LIBIEN, Hiram Raúl y MERCADO MALDONADO, Asael. La universidad pública: autonomía y democracia. Convergencia [online]. 2009, vol.16, n.51, pp.301-321. ISSN 2448-5799.
Public universities, as institutions of the Mexican state endowed with academic and administrative autonomy derived from the 3rd constitutional article, section VII, represent the consequence of a coll egiate ideal in favor of progress to fulfill a socio-cultural function, which must be guided by axiological values and principles, which form the university's raison d'être, supposing a number of responsibilities for those who benefit from said universities. Thus, the collegiate democracy is a relevant topic, since the possession of autonomous governing bodies in these institutions is a right conferred by the Supreme Law, with the possibility that the internal government, and consequently the election of its directors, is ruled by a structure and mechanisms of operation appropriate to and in accordance with collegiate life, without these mechanisms being lent to popular choice and demagogues who dilute the spirit and goals of these institutions.
