The Dean of BUAP, Dr. Lilia Cedillo Ramírez, stressed that the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences is steadily progressing towards its consolidation as an academic unit with a clear orientation towards research and this is evidenced by the match that exists between the profile of the faculty and the goals they pursue; This is after hearing the first work report of the director of this unit, Dr. Luis Ochoa Bilbao (2022-2026).
“When I got to the rectory, I spoke with Dr. Ochoa Bilbao, who was then director of the Faculty of Law and Political Science, at that moment we talked about how the interests of law were more focused on professionalism, while political science was more research-oriented. For academic reasons, we thought of separating them, in order to have strong faculties with different development possibilities. I realize now, through the activities that have been reported in the past year, that they are on a steady pace towards achieving those goals.”
