Please find attached a copy of the entry
for the Universidad Centroamericana José Simeón
Cañas (José Simeón Cañas Central
American University), commonly known as the Universidad
Centroamericana, Central American University or UCA, published in
The World of Learning 1991. Various sources report that the
Central American University conducts polls and studies on social,
economic and political issues, and holds forums, talks, debates and
conferences on a variety of subjects. The DIRB currently holds in
its collection samples of the Central American University's
Estudios Centro Americanos and Proceso, two of the
publications listed in The World of Learning 1991. As an
example of the variety of references to the Central American
University available, please find attached a copy of a page from
El Salvador Chronology. This document contains a reference
to the role of UCA in the investigation and prosecution related to
the widely reported murder of six Jesuit priests who were also
members of the university, as well as a reference to a donation of
books and money by the government of Spain for UCA's Department of
Communications.
Information on a demonstration by students
of UCA or a demonstration that resulted in the death of students in
June 1991 could not be found among the sources currently available
to the DIRB.
