description Don José Guadalupe Zuno, Governor of the State of Jalisco since 1923, gave higher education its university character again, because since the closing of the old nineteenth-century university and the Institute of State Sciences in 1865, the higher schools directly depended of the State. The foundation of the University of Guadalajara in 1925 was a great event for the country, especially for the northwestern region. This was the second university founded and although the philosophy that founded its existence was based on claiming its secular, popular, scientific character and away from any religious influence, it did not contain in its name nor in its regulations nor its operation the title of Autonomous , despite the fact that the influence of the struggle and conquest of Cordovan autonomy in 1918 was known throughout the continent and spread throughout the world - to the extent that a few years later, in 1829, the University of Mexico also conquered it. In fact, at the University of Guadalajara, this important autonomist antecedent was not taken into account. The influence of the Mexican Revolution, whose armed period had just ended (1910-1917), kept as one of its main claims to promote education and popular culture to the people. In this context, Zuno materialized that great popular aspiration founding the university within that revolutionary paradigm, but he did it from a unipersonal perspective, where the government of the State and the rector were the ones who assumed the university direction, establishing in this way, a directivist model - since the directors took over the University Council, and additionaly they did not recognize the student representations, the democratic election of professors and they subjected the university to the regime, that is to say to the government in turn. The pretext was to link the model with the needs and claims of a society that sacrificed itself for the revolution, but that was assumed as a state battering ram.

The pretext was to link the model with the needs and claims of a society that sacrificed itself for the revolution, but that was assumed as a state battering ram. Don José Guadalupe Zuno, Gobernador del Estado de Jalisco a partir de 1923, volvió a darle a la educación superior su carácter universitario, pues desde el cierre de la antigua universidad decimonónica y del Instituto de Ciencias del Estado en 1865, las escuelas superiores que funcionaron dependían directamente del gobierno del Estado. Al fundarse en 1925 la Universidad de Guadalajara el hecho representó un gran acontecimiento para el país, especialmente para la región noroccidente del país, fue la segunda universidad fundada y si bien la filosofía que fundamentaba su existencia se sustentaba en reivindicar su carácter laico, popular, científico y alejada de cualquier influencia religiosa, no contenía en su nombre ni en su normativa ni en su funcionamiento el título de Autónoma, no obstante que la influencia de la  lucha y conquista de la autonomía cordobesa de 1918 era conocida en todo el continente y se desplegaba por el mundo -al grado que pocos años después, en 1829, la Universidad de México la conquistó también-. En realidad, en la Universidad de Guadalajara, este importante antecedente autonomista no se tomó en cuenta. La influencia de la revolución mexicana, cuyo periodo armado había recién concluido (1910-1917), mantenía como uno de sus principales reivindicaciones promover la educación y la cultura populares al pueblo. En este contexto Zuno materializaba esa gran aspiración popular fundando la universidad dentro de ese paradigma revolucionario, pero lo hacía bajo una óptica unipersonal, donde el gobierno del Estado y el rector fueron quienes asumieron la dirección universitaria, estableciendo un modelo directivista –puesto que los directores coparon el Consejo Universitario, y junto a ello desconocieron las representaciones estudiantiles, la elección democrática de profesores y sujetaron la universidad al régimen, es decir al gobierno en turno.  El pretexto fue vincular el modelo con las necesidades y reclamos de una sociedad que se sacrificó por la revolución, pero mantenida como un ariete del Estado.  Don José Guadalupe Zuno, governador do Estado de Jalisco desde 1923, voltou a conferir à educação superior seu caráter universitário, pois desde o encerramento da antiga universidade do século XIX e do Instituto de Ciências do Estado, em 1865, as escolas superiores que funcionavam dependiam diretamente do governo do Estado. Ao fundar-se a Universidade de Guadalajara em 1925, tal fato representou um grande acontecimento para o país, especialmente para a região norte ocidental do país. Foi a segunda universidade fundada, e a filosofia que fundamentava sua existência se sustentava em reivindicar seu caráter laico, popular, científico e livre de qualquer influência religiosa, não continha em seu nome, nem em sua normativa e nem em seu funcionamento o título de Autônoma, não obstante a influência da luta e conquista da autonomia de Córdoba de 1918 fosse conhecida em todo o continente e se espalhava pelo mundo – posto que pouco tempo depois, em 1892, a Universidade do México também conquistou. Na realidade, na Universidade de Guadalajara, este importante antecedente autonomista não foi levado em conta. A influência da revolução mexicana, cujo período armado havia sido recentemente concluído (1910-1917), mantinha como um de suas principais reivindicações a promoção da educação e da cultura populares ao povo. Neste contexto, Zuno materializava essa grande aspiração popular fundando a universidade dentro desse paradigma revolucionário, porém o fazia sob uma visão unipessoal, donde o governo do Estado e o reitor foram aqueles a assumir a direção universitária, estabelecendo um modelo diretivo – posto que os diretores assumiram o Conselho Universitário, e junto a ele desconheciam as representações estudantis, a eleição democrática de professores e sujeitando a universidade ao regime, isto é, ao governo em curso. O pretexto foi vincular o modelo às necessidades e demandas de uma sociedade que se sacrificou pela revolução, porém permaneceu como aríete do Estado.
