Académicas, estudiantes, funcionarias y egresadas de la U. de Chile han tenido cada vez más protagonismo en las últimas décadas en nuestro país, destacando por sus logros, méritos y trayectorias en distintos ámbitos, y abriendo nuevos espacios para las mujeres en Chile y el extranjero.

El interés en la U. de Chile quedó plasmado también en el incremento que registró el promedio de postulaciones efectivas por vacante en el plantel, desde 3,08 en 2019 a 3,22 en 2020. Este año además subió la cantidad de postulantes mujeres seleccionadas desde un 52,7 por ciento a un 53,5 por ciento.
Mujeres de la comunidad universitaria se congregaron en la Torre 15, en el marco del Día Internacional de la Mujer Trabajadora. Un desayuno comunitario y lectura de poesía fueron parte de las actividades, en las que participaron integrantes de diferentes unidades académicas del plantel.
Múltiples figuras de las tablas asistieron a la despedida de esta pareja de actores, ambos Premios Nacionales de las Artes de la Representación y destacados egresados de la U. de Chile, que dejaron huella en decenas de generaciones.

Universities across the country are shifting their courses online in response to the novel coronavirus, leaving professors and instructors scrambling to modify and adjust their curriculum and teaching methods to this new dynamic.

A video of Joe Biden that was deceptively edited to make it appear as if he endorsed President Donald Trump for re-election triggered warning labels from Twitter and Facebook, one of the first instances in which new policies meant to curb misinformation have been applied to the Trump campaign.
However, Joan Donovan argues that this is not enough: “When it comes to the question of manipulated video content, there needs to be sanctions for actual users beyond the label.”
