| Spanish abstract | A continuación se describe el proyecto educativo University of the People, su visión y propósito, y el derecho humano que busca satisfacer este modelo de educación internacional, exento de matrícula y abierto. Además, se muestra la forma en que este modelo de educación superior es apoyado por universidades de renombre internacional, tales como la Universidad de Nueva York (NYU), la Universidad de California (UC) y Berkeley, todo ello con el afán de atraer estudiantes talentosos, provenientes de comunidades marginadas. A través de University of the People los estudiantes que antes no tenían oportunidades de acceder a una educación superior ahora pueden realizar sus aspiraciones académicas e ingresar a una de las mejores universidades del mundo |
| English abstract | This article describes a global, wholly online university that was founded to address the needs of these would-be students. The following describes the University of the People (UoPeople), its vision and purpose, and the basic unmet human right this model of international, tuitionfree and open education seeks to address. Furthermore, we show how this model of higher education can be utilized by world renowned universities and elite schools with resources, such as New York University (NYU) and University of California (UC) Berkeley to source top talent from underserved communities of students. Through these fruitful partnerships, students who previously had no alternative for higher education before UoPeople opened the gates for them, may be able to further their academic pursuits by attending one of the best universities in the world |
