Editor’s view
Abigail Taylor, Leadership and Governance Editor
Universidad de Concepción students are the group directly concerned: if the internships and joint activities Silva described as possible are taken forward, they would gain a structured link with the Constitutional Court; no date for such a step has been given.
What to watch
- Whether the university and the Constitutional Court move from the possibility of student internships and joint activities to a concrete arrangement.
