Implications of an integrated academic system for multicampus higher education institutions
Santo Tomás University, the first University Senate in the country, considers within its general principles: university autonomy, universality, humanism, trust, and the common good (Organic Statute, 2018), which become meaningful when defining the Integrated Academic System -sai (by its acronym in Spanish)- usta Multicampus. In the last 25 years, institutional processes were structured and consolidated in terms of educational management, relevance, and quality, which were legitimized in 2016 when it was granted the accreditation of High-Quality Multicampus by the Ministry of National Education -men-, the High-Quality Accreditation Multicampus. With the Accreditation, the usta from its action-research methodology promoted environments that contributed to the unification of policies, guidelines, projects, processes, and procedures, as well as the design of methodological paths, in the context of the institutional identity, educational autonomy, and recognition of the national diversity where it operates, through its university campuses. These aspects were consolidated in 2022, with the renewal of the institutional accreditation in High-Quality Multicampus. As a result, the usta is a pioneer in the approach, development, and implementation of an Integrated Academic System -sai-, fostering the planning of education, and articulation of university functions at the national level within the framework of institutional quality, with the objective of promoting the integral formation of people, becoming a school of learning from the democratic exercise for leadership and institutional governance.
