ABSTRACT
Universities, traditionally, like churches, have usually had a degree of autonomy from political and economic control that is quite remarkable, partly because they have been protected by the upper classess, however, constituted, at nearly all times in almost every society. Among the multiple paradoxes that condition the historical concept of autonomy is that at times the intervention of the Executive Power guaranteed and promoted university autonomy. That was the time of the University Reform, the time of the outbreak of a movement that recuperated the feudal corporative tradition of Bologna as well as giving birth to the new history of Latin American universities. The Argentine Higher Education Law No 24.521, was promulgated the 7th of August, 1995, and includes all institutions of higher formation, be them universities or non-universities, national, provincial or municipal, state-owned or private, all form part of the National Educational System regulated by Law No. 24.195.
