Overview
- The Sixth Constitutional Court in Lima admitted Sunedu's amparo on June 16 and gave the State ten days to respond before setting a single hearing, starting a fast judicial process over the conflict.
- Sunedu says Ministerial Resolution N.° 338-2026-MINEDU introduces an interpretation of the University Law that would change how Council Directivo members are designated and that this change threatens its institutional autonomy.
- A group of 22 congresspeople filed an interpelation against Education Minister María Esther Cuadros, accusing the ministry of seeking to remove Sunedu's representative and of unlawfully renewing the regulator's board.
- Press reports say President José Balcázar wanted Policarpio Chauca Valqui named to Sunedu, and one outlet alleges he faces multiple criminal complaints; those allegations appear in limited reporting and remain unverified.
- The dispute could affect Sunedu's technical role in licensing and quality oversight of universities, and it may reach a political climax if the interpelation advances before the legislature ends on June 24 or if the court rules on the amparo.
