The body of professors insist on the realization of the Assembly to create the Faculty of Medicine. They seek to have autonomy and stop depending on the Faculty of Health Sciences.
The teachers of the Medicine Career of the UNSa suspended the continuity of the academic dictation due to different irregularities that affect the body of teachers.
For this reason, they request once more the creation of the Faculty of Medicine “that allows its own administrative, budgetary and academic government”, they explain in a press release.
“What we need is a General Assembly that has already been convened by the rector, but to get there there are still several steps to go. That is why we make known the intention that the professors of the career have, “said the doctor and professor Edgardo León de la Fuente in dialogue with El Tribuno.
The teacher complained regarding the bureaucracy that exists in the university and clarified that the request is not once morest nurses and nutritionists.
“I want to make it clear that we have nothing once morest them, but the dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences is a nurse. It is like the dean of the Faculty of Economic Sciences being a doctor”, he added.
In turn, he said that Mr. Carlos Portal, precisely the highest authority of the faculty in which the medical career is located, is supporting them. “We have a mutual respect,” he said.
León de la Fuente complained that he has been a professor at the house of higher studies for six years but is still listed as interim. “We have not been regularized by the UNSa. And according to the statute, interim positions last no more than a year. All teachers are in the same situation”, he explained.
Regarding budget management, the doctor said: “I know that the Nation has allocated funds for the creation of laboratories and infrastructure for the race and we are not yet seeing it. Also, at UNSa they want to have an unrestricted income and they don’t give us the materials for the number of students they want to have”.
To achieve the creation of the Faculty of Medicine, the issue will first be analyzed at the meeting of the Superior Council that is scheduled for this Thursday, July 28.
“More than 30 years ago, an assembly has not been held at the UNSa, because there are always details. What we are looking for, both students and teachers, is to support this initiative to create our faculty. We would like the press to be present,” said León de la Fuente.
Meanwhile, in the press release issued by the faculty, the purchase of materials and goods that should have been used for the course and had an alien purpose was denounced, as well as the lack of assigned spaces and the use of the building built for the course. career, also unrelated to it.
Faced with this situation, and following the winter break, teachers are in a state of alert and mobilization.
The Medicine Career has been taught in Salta since 2015 and depended on the National University of Tucumán. From this year it came under the orbit of the National University of Salta.
