| Sumario: | Universities that depend on charging tuition fees have been proportionally more affected by the pandemic than those institutions that are supported by government funding. This article focuses on exploring the situation of the private sector in countries such as Argentina where the governmental contribution to private universities is minimal, while its public peers are financed by the national government. Through relevant comparisons with other Latin American countries (Brazil, Chile, and Mexico), this article shows evidence of how public policies and the effects of the pandemic on university institutions differed between the public and private sectors. Likewise, within the private sector, elite universities have differentiated themselves from their non-elite peers. These further differentiation within the private sector depicts a university system that, far from being monolithic, presents not only significant differences between the public and private sectors, but also within the private sector. |
