In this article the authors intend to describe the policy of “re-dimensioning” applied in the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) during the last dictatorial period in Argentina (1976-1983). They characterize the main modalities used to “adapt” the size of the higher education institutions to the new established criteria. The authors also analyze the impact of these measures and aim to deepen the available knowledge about the dictatorial university policy in Argentina. They have used a methodological strategy of triangulation of official documentary sources belonging to diverse categories (statistics, reports, speeches by authorities, etc.), the written press and oral testimonies collected in the framework of their research.

Palabras llave : University of Buenos Aires; university policy; dictatorship; "re-dimensioning" of student enrollment; Argentina.
