Ley de la Universidad de Puerto Rico

The Ley de la Universidad de Puerto Rico, enacted in 1903, established the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) as the primary public higher education institution on the island. This law aimed to promote accessibility to education, research, and cultural development. It outlines the university's governance, structure, and mission, emphasizing academic freedom and the importance of adapting to Puerto Rico’s social and economic needs. Over the years, the law has been amended to reflect changing educational priorities and challenges, solidifying UPR's role in shaping the future of Puerto Rico through education and public service.
