a) Institutionalization of student participation in university councils, joining professors and alumni in a three-party system known as co-governance. b) A linkage between student politics and national politics in order to mobilize the university toward the solution of economic, social and political problems. c) An emphasis on university extension, particularly courses for workers that would lead to the development of fraternal bonds with the proletariat. d) Tuition-free education and open admission to all academically qualified applicants, in order to replace the elitist and archaic 19th century university with a democratic, modern and mass university. e) A defense of institutional autonomy with respect to the state. f) Institutionalization of mechanisms to protect academic freedom, including the implementation of "free teaching" (docencia libre) to ensure academic pluralism and to break the monopoly of teaching enjoyed by senior professors (catedráticos). g) Promotion of new ideas, innovative methods of teaching, changes in exam systems, optional classroom attendance, original research, and a rejection of dogmatism, all leading to the replacement of theology by positivist disciplines. h) Selection of faculty through open, competitive examinations in order to counteract nepotism and patronage, and promotion of professors on the basis of merit and achievement rather than seniority. i) The enlargement and diversification of professional training through the establishment of new professional schools. j) An understanding of university life as a truly communitarian experience, therefore encouraging the development of a population of full-time professors and full time students.
