FADA-UNA Dean Denies Inaction Amidst Entrance Exam Irregularity Claims

The dean of FADA-UNA, José Insfrán Guerrero, has refuted claims of inaction after parents alleged irregularities during the university's entrance exam. Parents of architecture program applicants reported that a teacher allegedly provided direct assistance to a group of students during the mathematics exam on June 13. This alleged aid, they claim, compromised the fairness and transparency of the admission process.

Insfrán stated that the faculty learned of the complaint last week and has initiated internal protocols. "The CPA professors met, the director met with them, they spoke with the teacher in question, and consultations were held," he explained. The case has been forwarded to the faculty's legal department for a formal institutional response, expected Tuesday. The dean assured that the process is undergoing rigorous review.

As a precautionary measure for the subsequent physics exam, logistical changes were implemented, including rotating teachers. "The professors who supervised group 1 in the first instance were moved to other groups to avoid suspicion," Insfrán said. A new protocol requires any candidate questions to be voiced aloud and answered publicly by the instructor for the entire class, preventing discreet individual interactions.

Regarding the accusation that the teacher involved also provided private tutoring to applicants, Insfrán was firm: "That is strictly forbidden." He emphasized the faculty's strict policy against such practices, noting that mathematics and physics were the first two exams administered for student admission at FADA-UNA.
