There is considerable concern among social actors involved in university activities for several reasons: Chile has witnessed an excessive increase in the number of available study programs from 1981 onwards, there are insufficient means to provide good quality modern education, and inequality in the access to education and the possibilities to continue studying, plus significant rates of academic failure, increased costs in education and the search for adequate mechanisms to allocate resources for higher education. Given the complexity of these problems,awareness has not yet trickled down sufficiently into society.In this setting, regulating the supply of study
programs -from the viewpoint of a derived regional university such as the
Universidad de La Frontera- is a highly significant issue that is unavoidably linked to requirements posed by demand and the conditions of access to higher education in universities in the regions. The foregoing calls for a regulatory framework,with essentially stable and clear rules of the game, which should encourage a dynamic of permanent adjustment to societal changes.
