Abstract

One of the most important functions performed in any higher education institution is the role of academic authority. This essay describes the situation that is developing at the level of academic authority in higher-level educational institutions in Latin America. The information was collected at executive meetings, conferences and workshops planned for that effect, from which emerges, as one of the most important aspects, the need to train academic authorities in the execution of their functions so that they make creative decisions that contribute to the achievement of educational excellence in all areas related to knowledge management and exchange.
