| Sumario: | This paper analyzes the responses of Argentine universities to the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in its three areas of intervention or functions: training, community outreach and internationalization. Actions aimed at responding to the epidemiological situation are presented and considerations are established considering them as part of a broader reflection on the systemic trends of higher education in this country. Likewise, this analysis allows a dialogue with the also current scenario of discussion for a reform of the higher education law. The question underlying the work is: What type/s of university/s will emerge and/or consolidate in the "new normal" of our Latin American societies? In the article, we argue that it is still premature to outline an answer, but if it is feasible to point out, it is that none of the trends that are pointed out is novel. Strictly speaking, what crises generate is the acceleration of pre-existing change processes, although these critical junctures also produce political-institutional innovations that tend to remain past the situation. |
