Reflections on the University relates to UNIMINUTO

Resumen

This reflection article wants to review, from a non-disciplinary perspective, the three issues of university work called its "substantive functions": the teaching and learning processes (teaching), the production of knowledge (research), and the relationship with society (social projection or extension), which as a whole and relationship would make up what would be its primary function, that is, training. It is carried out from a place and a context: the experience of thirty years of life, search, and service of the Minuto de Dios University Corporation - UNIMINUTO. It is concluded in favor, not of an impossible return to a golden age that, by the way, never existed, but of maintaining an irreducible and fruitful tension between different orders and styles of rationality in the university and in society.
