Overview
- AFA was formally instructed to suspend all advertising and publicity for the so‑called UNAFA and to submit a written response within five business days.
- The official notice says UNAFA is not legally recognized as a university and that AFA promoted undergraduate and postgraduate programs without ministerial approval or accreditation.
- The communiqué invokes Resolution 206/1997, Resolution 4600‑E/2017, and Articles 39 and 68 of the Higher Education Law, which restrict the use of university designations and the offering of degrees with national validity.
- Authorities warn that failure to comply could trigger immediate closure, disqualification of responsible parties, and other administrative penalties.
- AFA unveiled the project on November 4 with former UBA rector Alberto Barbieri as director, promoted offerings via universidadafa.com and social networks for a planned 2026 start, and has not issued a public reply to the order.
