[edit] Institute or University

The discussion bellow does in now out of date as ISCTE is now on the Conselho de Reitores das Universidades Portuguesas and is a University Institute. (2008)

I know it is not a polytechnic. It offers university education, but isn't totally correct call it a University. It doesn't have a Rector or faculties inside. It isn't a member of CRUP-Conselho de Reitores das Universidades Portuguesas. It is a University Institute at the moment, is like an independent faculty. It could became a University later, as the article says, or be integrated inside one of the public universities of Lisbon.

I Disagree. The ISCTE is a de facto university even if, juridicaly, it is a Non-Integrated University Institute (Instituto Universitário Não Integrado), offering all levels of university degrees in Portugal, abiding by the same laws that govern university life and BEING a member of CRUP (this is a recent development). I belive that you are confusing the formal status of the institution with it's reality and function. But let us not enter into a reverse war. I'm making changes that maybe can accomodate both our views. What's you opinion? The Ogre 8 July 2005 06:38 (UTC)

Ok, it's better now. I made also some small improvements on the article. Armindo 8 July 2005 13:32 (UTC)
