Towards Improving the Academic Bodies of FIME in the Autonomous University of Nuevo León, México

This paper refers to a crucial issue for higher education institutions.  In Mexico, particularly, the collective work of academic bodies is an unresolved issue despite the efforts made in this regard. In this context, a well-founded systematic discussion is essential to understand the potential of these academic bodies on faculty strengthening and their subsequent impact on the quality of education. This paper presents the results of a research project conducted by FIME  with the purpose of identifying the characteristics of its academic bodies as well as their current and potential condition. (1) Translator’s Note: FIME refers to the Facultad de Ingeniería Mecánica y Eléctrica (College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering).

La política del gobierno mexicano frente al fenómeno migratorio

El objetivo de la presente ponencia es evidenciar cómo la falta de una política migratoria ha afectado las relaciones de México con otros países, principalmente los centroamericanos, por los diferentes intereses que pretende resguardar: el respeto a los derechos humanos de los extranjeros y la prohibición de transitar para las personas indocumentadas. De esta manera, se demuestra la necesidad imperante de que el gobierno mexicano cuente con una política sólida la cual incida de manera positiva en cada uno de los flujos migratorios con los que se ve afectado México al ser un país de origen, tránsito y destino.This article aims to highlight that the lack of a migratory policy affects Mexican foreign affairs, especially with Central American countries, due to different interests in stake that it looks to safeguard such as foreigners human rights respect and the proscription of transit for undocumented people. It is obvious that Mexican Government needs to adopt a well grounded foreign policy with positive impact in each of the migratory flows currently affecting México, since it is a starting point, transit and destination country.
