Abstract

The level of transparency in higher education institutions in Colombia two years after the enactment of the Law 1712/2014 on Transparency and the right of access to public information in that country is analyzed. The study includes a sample of 197 public and private higher education institutions registered in the National Higher Education Information System of the Colombian Ministry of National Education in May 2015. Data observed on the websites of these institutions show a context where levels of formal and substantive transparency are low and no significant progress. The results reveal difficulties in the effective application of concepts and processes related to cyberculture.
