Jairo Torres
Jairo Torres is the rector of the University of Córdoba and serves as the president of the Sistema Universitario Estatal (SUE) and the Asociación Colombiana de Universidades (Ascún). He has been a vocal critic of the recent Decreto 0391 of 2025, which aims to formalize employment for university faculty in Colombia. Torres argues that the decree exacerbates financial challenges for public universities by imposing significant additional costs without providing new funding sources, thereby deepening the existing financial crisis in the higher education sector.
