IMPULSE TO HUMANISM PROGRAM.
THE HUMANIST UNIVERSITY Based on the book by Luis
Olmos (2004), Crisis at the humanist
university. CETYS Publishing

• SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HUMANIST
  UNIVERSITIES
• The search for economic selfsufficiency in
  order to supply humanist education proceeds
  derived from the mission, not profit.
• The meaning of the humanist university as an
  institution that seeks a persons integral and
  intelectual training .
• Openness to the presence of what is finite and
  eternal in social and personal life (sheltered by
  the religious phenomenon when it comes to
  strengthen spirituality).

IMPULSE TO HUMANISM PROGRAM.
THE HUMANIST UNIVERSITY Based on the book by Luis
Olmos (2004), Crisis at the humanist
university. CETYS Publishing
The word HUMANIST may be applied to public and
private universities, institutes, research
centers, and religious universities, as long as
they express the before-mentioned
characteristics. In fact, the word humanist may
even be overrated to a religious school, as well
as to universities dedicated to humanism. That
is, humanism does not depend on experts or
investigators, but in the virtue of helping the
human being educate himself.

THE HUMANIST UNIVERSITY Based on the book by Luis
Olmos (2004), Crisis at the humanist
university. CETYS Publishing

• To all universities, economic self-sufficiency is
  essential this applies to humanist universities
  as well. The managers must risk all their talent,
  managing capability and practical sense to
  provide all this to the academic faculty.
• Commercialization, based on the constant search
  for profit without a counterweight that avoids
  monopolic positions, is unreconcilable with
  ethics and the social function of an authentic
  humanist university.

THE HUMANIST UNIVERSITY Based on the book by

• Education itself does not accept the phrase
  give customers what they ask for. That is,
  education does not last like merchandise, or an
  object of consumption. On the other hand,
  instruction and training, which non-humanist
  universities deal with, are important goods and
  services in the market.

IMPULSE TO HUMANISM PROGRAM.
I like being man, being people, because I know
that my course in the world is not
predetermined. That my destiny is not a piece
of information but something that needs to be
done and whose responsibility I cannot escape
from. I like being people, because the story I
knit with others, and whose making I participate
in, is a time of possibilities, not of
determinism. Paulo Freire
