The page presents John Jairo Arboleda Céspedes as the current rector. UdeA’s own news archive shows that this is no longer correct:

• On March 20, 2026, the university published that the Consejo Superior Universitario accepted John Jairo Arboleda Céspedes’s resignation as rector.
• On July 9, 2026, UdeA published that Luquegi Gil Neira assumed office as rector for the 2026–2029 term.

Because the university itself says Arboleda resigned and a new rector took office, the infobox entry naming Arboleda as rector is factually outdated and incorrect.

This claim is impossible on the university’s own timeline. UdeA’s official Autoevaluación y Acreditación Institucional page states that:

• Institutional accreditation was granted in 2003 by Colombia’s National Accreditation Council.
• The university was re-accredited in 2012 for 10 years.
• The university footer currently states “Acreditación institucional hasta el 2033.”

That means the institution’s accreditation history, as documented by UdeA itself, begins in 2003, not in 1803, so it has not been maintained for “more than 2 centuries.”

This sentence states that UdeA has 228 research groups. The university’s official research page says otherwise: it states that the Universidad de Antioquia cuenta con 269 grupos de investigación recognized and classified by Colombia’s Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation in the 2024 call.

Because the official current figure is 269, the claim that the university has 228 research groups is incorrect.

The infobox lists 30,844 students as the university’s total enrollment. UdeA’s own news article from June 27, 2025 says the university “mantiene una oferta académica con más de 40 000 estudiantes matriculados” and adds that nearly 7,000 of them study at campuses outside the Valle de Aburrá.

That official figure is well above 30,844, so the student total shown in the infobox is no longer accurate.
