A group of professors from the Polytechnic University of Cartagena has asked the Governing Council of the UPCT to reconsider the decision adopted on April 9 in which they delegate the faculty of conducting face-to-face examinations to the teaching staff and the departments and “exempt from responsibility to the positions of the institution, “according to a statement.
In the text they explain that the Governing Council approved several changes in the evaluation systems that “have generated concern in an important part of the university community” because, unlike in other universities in which security has prevailed and they have implemented non-face-to-face evaluation systems, the Polytechnic has given the green light to “the possibility that teachers and departments choose to evaluate students through face-to-face tests, putting the health of all of them and their families at risk.”
They point out that they have presented objections through the internal channels of the university itself and that the government team has neglected such demands, so they ask the rector team to explain “who is responsible for civil and possible criminal responsibility in the event of contagions for COVID-19 “, while they have requested a report from the University’s legal office to analyze the legality of the text approved last week and assess whether or not there is negligence.
