More than a thousand people, including the Governing Council, student delegates, professors, researchers, parents, administration and services staff and the body of tutors, have included the members of the institution's highest student representation body, who have read a manifesto vindicating to the public administrations the rights that legitimately correspond to them.
Before a Temple of Los Jerónimos full, so much that it has been necessary to enable other spaces such as the auditorium, has presented this morning the Student Council of the UCAM.
In the act there have been interventions on the evolution of the university during the 22 years that it has been providing its service to the Region and the current situation of the institution.
The UCAM has this course with more than 20,000 students at all levels of training.
Of them, the undergraduate students chose the past months to their delegates and subdelegates, in total 319, and these later to the Student Council, formed by 16 members, who represent the centers and faculties of the University of the Campus of Murcia and of Cartagena
All of them have been present at the event, and their two top officials have intervened to show their commitment to the institution and its main demands.
They have highlighted the need to expand spaces in the Campus of Murcia (library, cafeterias, study rooms, sports areas, green spaces, etc.) stating that "we know that the UCAM has the resources for this, but the obstacles that are They are many. "
They have also regretted that students in the health field of the UCAM "are considered second-rate by the Administration, being the last to choose the practices and finding ourselves very unpleasant situations in some centers", before what they have shown the "desire to find a solution based on respect, commitment and equality ".
So, "we are treated with all the rights that correspond to us".
The representative of international students in the Council (an Italian student) has recognized the support they have for the institution, highlighting the training in values ​​and the help of personal tutors for their academic development and their adaptation to the Region.
More than 60% of the University's students are from outside the Region, and more than 2,000 international students are trained each year.
The president of the UCAM, José Luis Mendoza, who has described the act of "historic" has addressed the students: "you are the foundation of the UCAM, and every day we work for and for you", and has highlighted the work of the cloister of professors and researchers and administration and services staff.
Regarding the demands of students and other groups, he has shared them fully: "our university has been paralyzed for years and is prevented from growing despite having the resources to do so", which is not understood when it is a foundation without profit motive that is a good for the whole society.
"Hopefully there will be a change of attitude towards this institution, with thousands of families that need to resolve these serious problems, which we have not created ourselves."
The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Quality and Academic Organization, a body that integrates the student area of ​​the UCAM, has worked with students to establish the regulations and structure of student representation.
Its head, Manuel Carlos Ruiz, stressed that "this presentation is a historic milestone in the institution, in which the student has always been the central axis and the most precious asset", noting that now the University "already has a voice that allows to transfer the concerns, needs and demands of our students ", noting that" the University is at your disposal to improve the aspects that affect you in university life and achieve excellent training ".
The rector, Josefina García, has assured that the more than 3,000 workers of this university are "people who have made this institution their life project" and have recalled the important transformation that has occurred, in its little more than 20 years of existence , so that the whole environment has grown and prospered with it.
"Despite the few support we have received from the Administration, especially in recent years, we have made progress and will continue to do so."
Estrella Núñez, Vice Chancellor of Research of the UCAM and mother of two students of this university, has shown his concern for the long journeys that the Medicine students of the UCAM have to carry out in order to carry out their practices, since they have to do it in centers toilets outside of the city of Murcia.
He has asked the Public Administration "not to discriminate against the students of the Catholic University, because parents, as taxpayers, are entitled to our children to carry out internships in hospitals in Murcia."
