Dear ULS Community:

The current events that our country is experiencing and that seriously affect tranquility and social coexistence, have kept us with all our campuses closed, thereby seeking to contribute to the safety of our entire university community.

The closure measure – which was initially extended until today, Tuesday, October 22 – has been re-evaluated by this Rector's Office, in light of the new events, deciding to extend the suspension of academic and administrative activities for the entirety of this week. school, that is, until Friday, October 25 inclusive.

The above is consistent with what was stated by the FEULS yesterday, in the sense of ensuring the safety of everyone who is part of the ULS community, who, due to transportation difficulties, added to the complex scenario social, could have conditions of high risk for their integrity.

Once the social conditions are in place, we will be able to resume our university functions, with full protection of the safety of our community and academic activities, especially teaching activities.

Finally, it should be noted that the University will continue to periodically evaluate the situation, to promptly inform, through all official communication channels, any other decision that is adopted in the following days.

Dr. Alejandra Torrejón Vergara

Rector(s)
