The University of Puerto Rico (UPR) is one of the major projects of U.S. cultural domination since its opening in 1903. Since then, the university has been recognize as one of the best universities in Puerto Rico. Like in all universities their has been many problems made by the students for the claim of their rights and also have been made by the teachers.
In 1919 was founded the Student Committee of the UPR, to fight for their rights of students. Since then the group has been increasing, since in Puerto Rico problems has also increased. One of the largest fights or strikes in the UPR are because of the economical problems in the island. The government through out the years try to solve this problems but they instead of helping are raising taxes and the registration of the university. Since the strike of October of 1973 teachers and administration has helped the students fight for their rights for better opportunities to pay their studies and for the payment of more money. The Student Committee of the UPR in Puerto Rico has been a strong group, until know since they are facing one of the strongest strikes or fights for their rights and for the government to have consideration of their economical situation and stop raising taxes and give more opportunities for their paying methods.
Therefore, students have the right to fight for their rights and have more opportunities to pay their studies. This struggles of the government with the student committee has been very long since Puerto Rico economical status has been worse since long ago.
