Preferencias académicas de los estudiantes de la Carrera de Derecho y su vinculación con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) a través del estudio de sentencia

Abstract

Abstract: In case No. 785-20-JP, a student received a sanction from an educational institution for creating an Instagram account dedicated to memes about said institution. The analysis concludes that the educational entity violated the student's rights related to due process, freedom of expression and effective judicial protection. The educational institution did not provide the student with the guarantees of due process, since it did not allow him to present evidence or dispute the evidence presented against him. In addition, the educational institution sanctioned the student for expressing his opinion in a critical manner, which constitutes a restriction on his freedom of expression. This is why the educational institution failed to comply with its duty to provide the student with a defense by not allowing him to appeal the sanction imposed. This investigation strengthens the protection of human rights in Ecuador, where a precedent is established in this type of cases in relation to due process, freedom of expression and effective judicial guarantee. Likewise, it shows a clear responsibility on educational institutions to respect the human rights of students, even in situations where they express criticism of the institution itself.
