Stratification in the academy, the case of the University of Guadalajara
Keywords:
Higher education, Stratification, Academy, Teachers, UniversityAbstract
Higher education institutions and the academic profession have been touched by the globalizing vortex and its effects. Modernization policies implied changes in institutional and academic work through policies and evaluation programs, incentives, and rewards, which has put in the highest value of research activities, therefore, the institutions and professors that focus on this activity, are the best evaluated in these programs, positioning them at the top of the pyramid of tertiary education; generating a stratification not only institutional, but among the teachers, differentiating the pyramidal base or the majorities as those who are not elite and because they focus on teaching, they cannot obtain more and better resources. A paradigm shift in academic assessment is required, where the teaching and research functions are put on the same scale for a holistic and fair development of the university in favor of society
