Overview
- Sunedu’s governing council appointed Vicente Paul Espinoza Santillán as superintendent, stating the decision followed the University Law, ensures institutional continuity, and places him as chair of the council.
- The National Junta of Public University Rectors and Concytec declared they will not recognize appointments made without what they consider legitimate university and professional representation before the council turnover expected in February 2026.
- Critics argue the role should be a complementary term only until February 2026, while a three‑year mandate was reported by PeruInforma.
- In statements reproduced by PeruInforma, the rectors and Concytec assign political responsibility to executive leaders, and the outlet reports the education minister pushed an express designation; these claims have not been confirmed by Sunedu’s announcement.
- PeruInforma also reports that the Education Ministry’s representative, Andrés Ramos, resigned verbally on December 10 without formal publication, a detail used by critics to question the procedure.
