The rector of the University of the Republic (Udelar) Rodrigo Arim met with the secretary of the Presidency Álvaro Delgado. To the new building of the University of the Republic (udelar) in Paysandu $6 million short. In the last Rendering of Accounts, 7 million dollars were approved for the Paysandú Intendancy for this work, to which another 7 million that Udelar already arranged are added. But 6 million more dollars are missing for which financing is being sought, said the rector of the Rodrigo Arim University on Monday after meeting with the secretary of the Presidency Álvaro Delgado in the Executive Tower (Government House).
“We are looking for the financing,” Arim said, adding that “the government is going to be involved, of course.” “It is an essential building for Paysandú”, assured the rector Arim, in reference to the work that will be built in that department. The goal is to “offer a full medical degree,” he added. “Uruguay needs many more doctors trained in the north of the Negro River and working there,” he said, noting that only in Paysandú “about 2,000 students are entering the University every year.”
