The rector of the University of Murcia (UMU), José Orihuela, said this Friday at the Press Conference that he offered on the occasion of the Rendición de Cuentas that he will leave the institution with a bigger remante than he found when he arrived, and that he will surpass 70 million euros, compared to the 52 existing when he took office, now almost four years ago.
Orihuela has said that the first year of his mandate he dedicated to carry out various actions to claim that the UMU obtained the funding he needed.
In this regard, he recalled that he accompanied the students in the demonstration they held to get the clinical practices they needed and that he went with his team to the Regional Assembly to increase the cost ceiling.
He has also said that the rector who emerges from the elections that are currently in process will find an institution with greater possibilities than those he found, having corrected many of the shortcomings that existed at that time.
Regarding the Accountability report, which has been carried out by the UNESCO Chair in Management and University Policy, of the Polytechnic University of Madrid, he explained that it is the first time that the UMU has a study of this type, which will allow the power to undertake a non-discretionary university policy, but directed in a reasonable and objective manner.
And he added that its content indicates where the institution should go and what needs to be improved.
He has been in favor of students participating more in international mobility programs.
For his part, the director of the Chair, Professor Francisco Michavila, has congratulated the University for the vision it has had in commissioning the report, which goes - he added - in the line of making it better and better.
And he added that Accountability is not an accumulation of data, but a selection of them so that, analyzed in their exact measure, they allow to obtain the way in which the UMU must manage its resources and how it must meet the demands of its environment.
With the information thus obtained it will be possible, in addition, to compare its large figures with those of other similar universities and inserted in an environment similar to that of the Region of Murcia.
It is, he has commented at another time, that the University look inwards and outwards and then compare and draw conclusions.
