Argentina Orders AFA to Halt Promotion of UNAFA Over Lack of Authorization

The order cites laws reserving the “university” label for state‑authorized institutions.

Overview

  • The Ministry of Capital Humano, through the Subsecretaría de Políticas Universitarias, issued a formal notice requiring the immediate suspension of all UNAFA advertising.
  • AFA was given five business days to submit a formal response, with instructions to file the descargo via the TAD system.
  • The government stated that UNAFA is not a legally authorized university and referenced Resolution 206/1997, Resolution 4600‑E/2017, and articles 39 and 68 of the Higher Education Law.
  • Authorities cited promotions across media, social platforms, and the site universidadafa.com offering degree and postgraduate programs with enrollment planned for 2026.
  • The ministry warned that failure to comply could lead to closure and disqualification of responsible parties, and AFA had not issued a public response at the time of publication.
