First, an overview of the combination of aspects that originated this project is shown in order to reconstruct the idea of “regionalizing the university” based on the notions, prejudices, and limitations of that time. From there on, it is inferred that the purpose of regionalization is to democratize the access to higher education following an administrative, legal, and epistemological subsidiary logic. For that reason, the proposal is to move forward from “democratizing the access” to higher education to an “epistemic democratization” that offers a decolonizing vision of knowledge. This vision will raise awareness of the limitations in the current dichotomous model of regionalization, which juxtaposes center and periphery and it is evidently controlled by the metropolitan area of the country, along with its impact on the regional campuses of the university. En el presente ensayo, se analiza en forma crítica el proceso de regionalización de la Universidad de Costa Rica. En primer lugar, se realiza un recuento de los aspectos coyunturales en el origen de este proyecto, con el fin de reconstruir cómo se concebía “regionalizar la Universidad” a la luz de las ideas, prejuicios y limitaciones de la época. A raíz de esto, se colige que la regionalización se ha desarrollado con el fin principal de democratizar el acceso a la educación superior, bajo una lógica subsidiaria administrativa, jurídica y epistemológica. Por tal razón, se propone superar la perspectiva de la “democratización del acceso” a la educación superior, por la “democratización espistémica”, que significa partir de una visión descolonizadora del saber, con el fin de tomar conciencia de las limitaciones que el modelo actual de regionalización dicotómico “centro-periferia” y, en definitiva “vallecentralista”, ha significado para las sedes regionales de la Universidad.
