In order to explore the reflection of the Bolivarian policy on the University of Los Andes (ULA), based on its statistical bulletins, the behavior of the budget assigned (PA, in Spanish) and the evolution of the registration fees between the years 1986-2008 is scrutinized. The absence of PA redirected for the years 2006, 2007 and 2008 was observed, along 1986-1998 the registration fee decreased in 23%; between 1998 and 2008 the PA increased eleven times and the registration fee 0.7 times. The Initial Cash Balance increased consistently during the whole period. 17 years were needed to reach the level of students registered in 1987. The percentage of enrolled students in relation to the Andean population in the states of Táchira, Mérida and Trujillo with ages between 15 and 25 years old went from 11.8% in 1987 to 6.4% in 1998.
