UNED rector calls FEES distribution unfair, but rejects congressional decision-making

Rodrigo Arias Camacho, the rector of the National University of Distance Education (UNED), has declared the current distribution of the State Higher Education Fund (FEES) to be unfair. Speaking before the Congress's Income and Expenditure Committee, Arias expressed his concerns about the allocation of resources for higher education institutions.

Despite his criticism of the current system, Arias explicitly rejected the notion that Congress should be the body to determine any changes to the FEES distribution. He indicated that the university system itself is actively working on finding a more equitable solution.

According to Arias, the process of discussing and working towards a redistribution of the FEES is currently underway within the framework of the National Council of Rectors. This internal dialogue aims to address the perceived inequities without direct congressional intervention in the decision-making process.
