Listin Diario reports that a threatened strike, starting at 6:00am today, could affect 160,000 students at the UASD University. Members of the Federation of Professors (Faprouasd) and employees, part of the Employee Association (Asodemu) at the UASD University will meet today to discuss the next step in their protest, which will continue if the administration doesn't reconsider the recently signed medical insurance contracts. The UASD's professors are angered that the University has decided to contract ARS Humana Insurance as the school's insurance provider, without any previous public bidding by other insurance companies. University Dean Roberto Reyna pleaded with professors to go back to teaching and to their administrative duties, and assured that the University would remain open despite the protest.
