Organizing and Repression in the University of San Carlos Guatemala 1944 to 1996 by Paul Kobrak: For over forty years the University of San Carlos has been a center of political opposition in Guatemala. Though a State institution, the University has been brutally attacked by the State. In response, some at the University have tried to effect change through a mass movement; others have tried to bring down the government through armed struggle. The report documents the cases of 492 students, professors and university employees, all of them extra-judicially killed or disappeared.
