Abstract

The necessary trilogy "diversity-diversification-articulation" is not yet present in Chilean higher education. "Diversity" existed prior to the 1980s, and since then, "diversification" has been developing vigorously. Nevertheless, "articulation" is only barely present. The paper makes a contrast between this trilogy and another, namely, "function-structure-form". In the context of the current situation of higher education and its status as a genuine public good, i.e., the integration of private and public efforts, the need to develop "articulation" is imminent. It must be developed as a component of the free coordination of work performed in the field of knowledge (function), of institutions and the funding that should be provided by the state (structure) and the regulatory elements (form) that include in its design and implementation the academic freedom and autonomy inherent to higher education centers.
