Usach
In the second round of the 2026 Universidad de Santiago de Chile (Usach) rector elections—held after the first round among three candidates and amid a legal challenge from an excluded contender—Pedro Palominos, a doctor in industrial engineering, won with 52.2% of the votes. He defeated Cristián Muñoz and will serve from 2026 to 2030, succeeding the annulled tenure of Rodrigo Vidal. In his victory speech, Palominos called for unity and pledged to elevate Usach as a top state university.
