College Board statement condemning "the last, intolerant practices at the University of Costa Rica
I confess that I thought would never see a statement like this. Maybe now those few who were still doing gymnastics pseudo rhetoric for not condemning these people finally do so. But that's not really important. The important thing is that, finally, the Council shall act without hesitation. I would have liked to see this text in the main newspapers in the country as other agreements on a variety of topics, which were widely reported, but the truth is that I'm content with it for now!

A large group of students is largely responsible for this. These boys and girls 4000 as the President of the FEUCR are nothing, and who spoke strongly against practices that denigrated as academics, need to feel satisfied and conclude that the University authorities finally decided acuerparlos. But besides these brave young men decided to take action, refused to identify them with extremism, intolerance, ignorance of reality. There is hope in the UCR. Congratulations guys!
