Sergio Arboleda University: educating Colombia's mafia
by Adriaan Alsema November 27, 2020
Colombia’s Sergio Arboleda University is the alma mater of far-right President Ivan Duque and notorious for its ties to organized crime.
Named after a notoriously anti-democrat who violently opposed the abolition of slavery, the university enjoys virtually no academic recognition with the exception of its statistics department.
Sergio Arboleda is mainly remembered as a 19th century rancher, scholar and journalist from Popayan, but was also an illegal slave trader who violently opposed abolition.
Arboleda was one of the main leaders of a failed attempt to revoke the abolition of slavery by military means in the Wat of 1851.
