It is nearly a year since the Federation of Private Institutions of Higher Education (Fipes) -founded in 2009 and composed of eleven institutions, including the University of San Martin de Porres- successfully went to court to challenge the income tax payments under the University Law. María Isabel León, a former member of the Popular Force political party, was Fipes vice president until 2019 and she is currently President of Confiep. An appeal against the lower court’s decision is currently before the Supreme Court, as are complaints lodged with MEF and the Judiciary.
