The rector's criticism of UPV funding is based on "post-truth, lies, and euphemisms," according to Pérez Iglesias
The Basque Government's Adviser for Science, Universities and Innovation, Juan Ignacio Pérez Iglesias, has denied that the UPV is "underfunded" and added that it is "very difficult" to reach agreements from such speeches.
The Minister of Science, Universities and Innovation of the Basque Government, Juan Ignacio Pérez Iglesias, has denounced that the arguments put forward by the UPV rector, Joxeramon Bengoetxea, to denounce the "underfunding" of the public university are based on "post-truths, fallacies and euphemisms."
Pérez appeared on Wednesday before the Basque Parliament's Committee on Science, Universities and Innovation in response to Bengoetxea's criticism of the government budget for the UPV and the university's report on its funding needs.
The rector of the UPV/EHU presented a report on 19 November in the Basque Parliament stating that the University of the Basque Country/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea needed additional funding of EUR 192 million for "essential" investments to avoid "irreversible degradation".
