Abstract (English):	The article from Istmo Magazine titled "Universities are NOT factories of employees: The new Institute of Humanities reaffirms the comprehensive education vocation of the Panamerican University and IPADE Business School" addresses Martha Nussbaum's criticism of education and its focus on economic benefits. It mentions Margaret Spellings' report on inequality in access to higher education and the lack of attention to arts and humanities. It also mentions Governor Pat McCrory's plan to adjust the education curriculum to the needs of businesses. The article emphasizes the importance of university education in the development of critical thinking and the pursuit of truth. The text talks about the importance of universities maintaining their institutional identity and focusing on the search for truth. It mentions that in a world characterized by intellectual and cultural tribalism, it is crucial to recover the university's desire to seek and defend the truth. The identity of a university is built on the values, virtues, attitudes, and beliefs shared by its members. In the case of the Panamerican University and IPADE, their identity focuses on placing the person at the center of educational activities and recognizing their dignity. Additionally, the importance of the Institute of Humanities in promoting research and teaching in Christian coordinates, as well as dialogue with the contemporary world, is highlighted. The need to preserve the identity and values of universities is emphasized in a context where the student has become a customer and education has become a commercial product. The Institute of Humanities at the Panamerican University seeks to promote reconciliation between faith and reason in research and teaching. Its goal is to regain confidence in revealed truth in order to engage in dialogue about the dilemmas of contemporary culture. The presence of religion in the university is fundamental, as it ignores an essential dimension of the human person. The Institute aims to educate intellectuals capable of influencing the realm of knowledge and contributing to human progress. [Extracted from the article]
Abstract (Spanish):	El artículo de la Revista Istmo titulado "Las universidades NO SON fábricas de empleados: El nuevo Instituto de Humanidades reafirma la vocación de educación integral de la Universidad Panamericana e IPADE Business School" aborda la crítica de Martha Nussbaum sobre la educación y su enfoque en beneficios económicos. Se menciona el informe de Margaret Spellings sobre la desigualdad en el acceso a la educación superior y la falta de atención a las artes y humanidades. También se menciona el plan del gobernador Pat McCrory de ajustar el currículo de educación a las necesidades de las empresas. El artículo plantea la importancia de la educación universitaria en el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico y la búsqueda de la verdad. El texto habla sobre la importancia de que las universidades mantengan su identidad institucional y se enfoquen en la búsqueda de la verdad. Se menciona que en un mundo caracterizado por el tribalismo intelectual y cultural, es crucial recuperar el anhelo universitario de buscar y defender la verdad. La identidad de una universidad se construye sobre los valores, virtudes, actitudes y creencias que comparten sus miembros. En el caso de la Universidad Panamericana y el IPADE, su identidad se centra en colocar a la persona en el centro de las actividades educativas y en el reconocimiento de su dignidad. Además, se destaca la importancia del Instituto de Humanidades en la promoción de la investigación y enseñanza en coordenadas cristianas, así como en el diálogo con el mundo contemporáneo. Se enfatiza la necesidad de preservar la identidad y los valores de las universidades en un contexto donde el estudiante se ha convertido en un cliente y la formación se ha convertido en un producto comercial. El Instituto de Humanidades de la Universidad Panamericana busca promover la conciliación entre fe y razón en la investigación y enseñanza. Su objetivo es recuperar la confianza en la verdad revelada para dialogar sobre los dilemas de la cultura contemporánea. La presencia de la religión en la universidad es fundamental, ya que ignora una dimensión esencial de la persona humana. El Instituto busca formar intelectuales capaces de influir en el ámbito del saber y contribuir al progreso humano. [Extracted from the article]
