The University Council of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú agreed on May 13 to form an Advisory Commission in response to a proposal from student representatives. The commission will gather different perspectives regarding the new pension system and address questions and concerns raised within the university community.
The Advisory Commission is tasked with providing technical advice for implementing the new pension system, identifying areas that need clarification, and making recommendations if necessary. Its goal is to strengthen institutional solidity, fairness, sustainability, and governance in both the short and medium term.
Members of the commission include the administrative vice-rector (who will preside), academic vice-rector, directors from various academic and administrative departments, representatives from deans and department heads, two student representatives from both the University Council and Assembly, as well as a representative from the Student Union. The commission may also invite other individuals in a consultative capacity as needed.
After three months from its establishment, the commission will present its final report with recommendations to the University Council. The Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú promotes cultural and social wellbeing by emphasizing contributions in education and research; it operates under its institutional framework (RUC 20155945860) while highlighting academic achievements through its news portal directed by Dirección de Comunicación Institucional. The university’s communication platform has evolved into a digital multimedia site serving communities across Peru through news and academic contributions, according to the official website.
