Argentina’s public university system has shifted from the indelible reformist tradition of 1918, with its emancipatory and Latin American perspective, to a commodified education in line with the global logic introducing neoliberal rationality and the neoliberal subject into the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo. A review of recent reforms and a description of the university’s institutional measures is followed by possible lines of resistance, combining ideas from the 1918 reformist movement and the current Argentine feminist movement. La universidad pública argentina está sufriendo una conversión de la tradición de indeleble marca reformista desde 1918 (de horizonte emancipatorio y latinoamericano) a una educación mercantilizada según la lógica global de la racionalidad neoliberal y del sujeto neoliberal, visible en la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo. Repaso reformas nacionales recientes, y describo las disposiciones institucionales de la universidad para llegar a una discusión sobre coordenadas posibles de resistencia entrecruzando ideas del movimiento reformista de 1918 y el actual movimiento feminista argentino.
