LOPEZ, Alí. The absence of the Cordoba reform in Venezuelan universities: 1918-1935. Educere [online]. 2008, vol.12, n.41, pp.337-350. ISSN 1316-4910.

In 1918 a student movement was initiated in Cordoba, Argentina, aimed to produce a reform in the decadent state of its university, which involved aspects strictly linked to teaching, research, extension, administration, and university services, but at the same time others related with national and international politics. Its postulates were rapidly spread around most Universities in Latin America, finding no reception in some of them given their internal condition or their countries’ political regime. This last is what happened in Venezuela, since Juan Vicente Gómez’s iron government had control over the two existing universities at the time in Caracas and Mérida. This article aims to demonstrate why the Cordoba university reforms were absent from the transformations that occurred in the Central University of Venezuela and the University of Los Andes between 1908 and 1935, period that precedes and at the same time covers the time of most incidence of the reformist movement of Cordoba.
