Overview
- Resolución Ministerial N.° 580-2025-MINEDU, published in El Peruano, formalized Espinoza’s designation and installation as superintendent.
- The move follows the resignation of Manuel Enemecio Castillo Venegas, effective December 17, which triggered the declared vacancy of the superintendency and the council presidency.
- Sunedu’s Governing Council selected Espinoza in Session N.° 051-2025 on December 24 under notarial certification, consistent with the Ley Universitaria process.
- As superintendent, he serves as Sunedu’s top executive, presides over the Governing Council, manages the budget line, and holds a three-year term without immediate re-election.
- Sunedu says the new administration will maintain oversight priorities and focus on research infrastructure and degree-title registry transparency, while public university rectors and the national bar deans’ body question the selection process and signal non-recognition.
