"To the pursuit of knowledge through research scientific, humanistic and technological to spiritual and material benefit of the Nation "respond Article 109 of the Constitution, and logic. According to the Office of Planning of the University Sector (OPSU), by 1992 the national universities spent more than half of its funds on bureaucratic costs, only 26.8% to teaching, only 4.6% on research. The number of bureaucrats and workers exceeded several times that of teachers. For 2008 in public universities had 27,000 workers, 47,000 clerks and 45,000 teachers. Teachers and researchers are still a minority. The UCV was the largest producer of jobs scientific research; lost that status decades ago. Luis Fuenmayor reports that in 2007 less than 15% of the plant are qualified teachers and researchers by the PPI, only 14% is a doctor and only 8% do research, that only 20% of the graduate degrees are awarded, the last degree 8 years in progress and the gross graduation rate is only 12% (Luis Fuenmayor Toro: "The deterioration university and constitutional reform", La Razon, 18/11/2007). But a real university should spend more than half of its resources to the creation of knowledge, generous portion to teaching, and administration insignificant portion. Our houses of study must drastically reorder priorities and expenditures.

"UNIVERSITIES FOR?
In his thesis The exclusion of the poor in higher education , Eduardo Martinez Gil demonstrates that the UCV in 1981, 65.19% of its students were graduates of high schools and officers 34.75 % of private schools, while in 2000, came from public high schools the 22.45% and 71.24% private. Of higher income levels (A and B) in 1981 and 25.58% came from poor levels (D and E), 21.77%, but in 2000 the levels A and B entering 53.29% and of the poor D and E only 6.59% entered. Aware that the USB in 1981, 42.32% came from public high schools and 57.68% of the private and of that total, 51.61% from the wealthy or affluent (AB) and 13% of the poor (DE .) Then in 1999, the USB came from public secondary schools 8.89% and 84.07% from private. 74.45% of those admitted were of high social status, was only 0.93% of the sector and none in the sector D E (Eleazar Diaz Rangel, Latest News, 30/03/2008). In two decades, we became funnels universities to provide free higher education to exclude the privileged and the needy. The admission tests attached decisive weight to the generous average notes give private schools. The university became a tool free equalizer to filter discriminator. But the only condition for access to higher education should be the ability to use it. Institutions that everyone pays to be open to everyone.
"UNIVERSITIES FOR MANY?
The World Bank Report on Venezuela 2000: Education for Economic Growth and Social Equity (For official use only) intended to reinforce this inequity through that would pay tuition and 15% of university expenditure, but exclude the underprivileged. The UCV those currently charged to those continue a second career. Also charged for courses or workshops that aim to grant certificates of races not authorized by the University Council, for example, the announcer. The real barrier is in the proliferation of successive graduate, none free, all expensive and lengthy and therefore not open to persons of low income. A souped-approval system admits very short courses abroad are of the same value as several years of study and research in the country. Given this gradual accumulation of filters that only let the money, the Bolivarian process raised education spending to 6.3% of GDP in 2006 and created new free higher education institutes that almost quadrupled the enrollment of 668,109 students in 1998 to 2,135,146 in 2007 (OPSU). Higher education should be for those whose age and ability to use it.
