This foundational act is potent: it privileges the freedom to learn over corporate interests, establishes the autonomy, and anticipates the recognition of higher education as a common good. Reclaiming the critical spirit of the 1918 reformists, we show in this work that the agreement signed in 2017 by the rector Hugo Juri whereby UNC becomes associated with edX constitutes a counter-reformation that (i) seeks to build an international brand, (ii) makes higher education more precarious, and (iii) brings about a weakening of the democracy at the university. La reforma universitaria de 1918 instituye una universidad democrática al exigir un “gobierno estrictamente democrático” y que los estudiantes puedan expresar su “pensamiento propio en los cuerpos universitarios por medio de sus representantes”. Ese acto fundacional es potente: antepone la libertad de aprender sobre los intereses corporativos, establece la autonomía y anticipa el reconocimiento de la educación superior como un bien público. Reivindicando el espíritu crítico de los reformistas de 1918, en este trabajo mostramos que el acuerdo firmado en el año 2017 por el rector Hugo Juri mediante el cual la UNC pasa a formar parte del consorcio edX constituye una contrarreforma que (i) busca construir una marca internacional, (ii) precariza la educación y (iii) conlleva también una pérdida de la democracia universitaria.
