La responsabilidad de las universidades en la garantía de un entorno educativo libre de violencia y discriminación. Análisis de la sentencia No. 1479-19-JP/24 de la Corte Constitucional del Ecuador.

Abstract

The analysis of Judgment 1479-19-JP/24 examines the responsibility of Ecuadorian universities to guarantee educational environments free from violence and discrimination, based on the case of the Central University of Ecuador. The study evaluates the rights violated, the applicable legal framework, and the orders issued by the Constitutional Court. It also reviews subsequent institutional responses, proposes a comprehensive prevention and intervention protocol, and compares regional best practices to formulate recommendations. The research concludes that university violence reflects structural inequalities and that its eradication requires effective institutional action, autonomous structures, and genuine mechanisms for protection and redress.
