Meanwhile, the Superior University Council appointed Andrés Felipe Mora as interim rector after declaring the position vacant.
Professor Leopoldo Múnera has officially resigned from his position as rector of Universidad Nacional de Colombia after more than a year in office. The move follows the Fifth Section of the Council of State annulling his appointment for the 2024-2027 term due to irregularities in the process. Múnera stressed that the university's transformation project does not depend on one individual.
