University activity has had a fundamental impact on the processes of forming social subjects, on the day-to-day construction of hegemony and consensus, on the critique of social relations, on the formulation of projects for change, and, in a no less intense, effective way, on the ongoing reproduction and management of the social system. This article reviews the history of the role played by universities in consolidating Mexican democracy.

Keywords : student movements; secularization; university students; teachers and workers; democratization; "de-massification" (scaling down massive size).
