OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION N°3 OF THE RECTORY

La Serena, October 23, 2019.

Dear ULS Community:

It is our duty to report that yesterday at 20:15 p.m., three students from our University of La Serena were arrested, in the context of the State of Emergency that our area is experiencing. From the first moment that the incident became known, Ms. Karin Ortloff Núñez, Commercial Engineering Career Coordinator, Ms. Patricia Astroza Morgan, Social Assistant of the General Directorate of Student Affairs (DGAE), and Ms. Elizabeth Escobar Toro, Attorney at the Legal Department, have attended to the situation, in terms of contacts with family members and channeling the corresponding procedures to the pertinent organizations.

Unfortunately, the prevailing situation generates risks, so the Institution is ready to attend to any situation that involves our students.

Consequently, this authority has ordered that, from now on, in the event of any similar event, Mrs. Patricia Astroza, Mrs. Elizabeth Escobar and the corresponding School Director or Coordinator, make themselves available to the students involved, to attend to and support with the necessary advice as well as monitoring the situation.

Dr. Nibaldo AVilés Pizarro

Rector
