| Sumario: | This article aims to contribute to the current debate on Latin American universities. For this purpose, it presents the Argentine case during the period 1990-2010. It describes the accelerated transformation that took place in many public universities: the sudden appearance of new functions and the postgraduate level with multiple organizational consequences. The following section explores whether the resources and efforts invested in this diversification had effects, intentional or not, on the system’s main collective actors and their reciprocal links. The comparison of the Argentine case with other university systems in the region allows, in a second step, to discuss the viability of the recommendations of experts for the reconversion of Latin American higher education. These proposals support sectoral public policies to distribute roles among universities. It is concluded that the functional expansion chieved by many Argentine institutions during the period studied is irreversible, which obstructs the reengineering imagined. The question remains open as to whether or not this specialization among institutions can take the form of an inter-institutional division of labor in other countries of the region. In this political dilemma, the authorization of private commercial investment and the legal definition of what functions a quality university should fulfill are at stake in each nation. |
