In that sense, Villanueva recalled that together with Alfaro he planned to increase high school enrollment by 8,000 places to be the first state to accept all high school applicants and comply with the mandate of the state Constitution that establishes that upper secondary education is mandatory; However, he said, the UdeG has not received a budget increase to continue with that goal.
He indicated that for six months he has tried to explain to the president that increasing enrollment requires a continuous investment that goes beyond the inflationary increase.
When referring to the resolution of the Court that endorsed the reallocation of 140 million pesos that the UdeG had contemplated for the construction of the Museum of Environmental Sciences, the rector recalled that there is still an amparo trial that is yet to be resolved; he defended the museum as an asset of the city and pointed out that it will be built with, without or despite Governor Alfaro.
Villanueva called on the president to conciliate, but for this, he indicated, it is necessary to understand that Jalisco does not have an owner, that it belongs to everyone.
