Darío Maiorana: "The UNR is far away of the community"
The rector says that does lack to improve the relation with the states
Matías Loja / The Capital
"In the University there can be no theme that cannot be criticized or discussed", unlike the flaming rector of the National University of Rosary (UNR), Darío Maiorana. Until it does little dean of the Faculty of liberal arts, Maiorana will conduct —supported by Eduardo Seminara— the destinies of the institution rosarina to the 2011.
In its office of the first flat of the Headquarters of Government of the University Maiorana exposes before The Capital the general lines of the project that proposes for the house of highly studies rosarina. Proposed that includes the need, as affirms, to change radically the relation of the UNR with the states and with the company, since notifies: "The university is quite distant of the community and of the daily life of the rosarinos".
Graduate from the School The Salle of Rosary, was received in 1988 of professor in letters in the Faculty of liberal arts, institution to which entered in the 82, during the last times of the last military dictatorship. "There I began my university membership, in Purple Stripe, like member of the first center of chosen students of the faculty", aims.
—¿It maintains ideals of that epoch?
— There is a said latin american that says that the times change, and we change with them. I believe that the ideals can be maintained, that obviously go evolving also. Perhaps as much as one more it travels through, and more time passes, they go finding different visions of the same thing. Of course that is not the same thing to be of a side of the classroom that of the other, to be student that educational. But I believe that the ideals can be maintained. Maybe they go complejizando, because all my expectation as the student during the military dictatorship of a country where there was not democracy, and the defense of the human rights, he evolved that we have democracy. Therefore my perspectives of democratization are not the same that those of then.
—¿And what thinks when many demand a greater democratization in the University?
— I lived the University of the dictatorship, with obligatory theoreticians, with shift punishment where if vos you yielded badly to the following shift you could not present. A university that obliged you to note you to yield, and if did not you go 48 hours before had to dissent formally, because if did not lose two shifts. A university in which the deans could annul you matters in the event that they considered that the subjects that you had yielded had a program or a professor that was a subversive. That was a university antidemocrática, and fundamentally where no mechanism of participation functioned.
—¿Lack democracy today in the universities?
— It is very probable and possibly there be many spaces that one must democratize. But I do not believe, in general, that be the formal spaces. That is to say, one must democratize the relations in the classroom and the forms of processing, because is very probable that there be discrimination. I do not believe that the even democratization by the formal thing, but in changing the practices, points of view and concepts. I understand that to democratize is not to look at to the interior only. If I occupy a place in the sure university that by each one of the ones that they are inside there are many that could not arrive. Then one must be a head, because if I delay 15 or 20 years in receiving me I am an irresponsible one because I do not comply with somewhat fundamental. The free education and the unrestricted income, questions that share, they are a right that are supported in which all they are paying, still the ones that are not in the university. And every right involves obligations.
—¿What institution touches him to direct?
— It touches me to govern a university that, despite chronic problems of budget, has some quite orderly accounts. An inheritance that have had so much of the rector (Ricardo) Suarez as of (Aldo) Gimbatti. But it is a university still very dissociated, above all in the operation of its faculties. And by the "quota of the division into lots", according to the quantity of votes, the spaces were distributed, the consequence is that there are offices of the secretary that have not functioned. And it is verified, fundamentally because there are budgets assigned that were not executed. The University is quite distant to the community and to the daily life of the rosarinos. There are excellent examples of relation but they are of professorships or people, but the UNR does not have the strong presence that would have that to have.
—You said that Rosary is not an university campus...
—Exact. Neither Rosary neither the region are university students. We have the major state budget of the city, where there is more than 100 thousand people that have to they do with the institution. Because someone studies, because someone works in her or because he is graduateded. We have a radio, editorial, and nevertheless Rosary is not a Saint Faith neither Cordoba.
—¿How it plant the future debate in the UNR?
— There can be no theme that cannot be criticized or discussed, because exactly the sacralidad is in the methodology. Therefore when the students presented that there was that to reform the statutes I constantly told that there is not any doubt that there are many questions to reform. The University is generator of knowledge, political, but is also socializing of the same one, and cannot exist if there is not possibility to criticize and to advance.
