Personal Profile:

Born in Aguada, in rural, agricultural Puerto Rico. Married to Florentina Muñoz and the proud parents of Alejandro M. Muñoz, born on July 8, 1997.

Vision of Higher Education Institutions:

The University must be an entrepreneurial – motivational agent for Puerto Rico development, always searching for new horizons of knowledge, nourishing healthy and inquisitorial minds with a deep sense of responsibility and respect for all living things.

Vision of a Prosperous Agriculture
A society that overlooks the importance of agriculture will pay the price for their ignorance and will condemn future generations to poverty and hunger. Agriculture must be a priority in any modern society, and all countries and societies must preserve agricultural land for present and future generations. Food safety and food supply can not be taken lightly, because no material richness can pay for food that does not exist, or sterile land that can not produce.

Dr. Miguel A Munoz Munoz

  • El 95% de los planes de trabajo de los candidatos a presidente no se pueden cumplir por el defit presupuestario actual y futuro
  • Ningun candidatos presentan soluciones reales que no sean busqueda de propuesta federales que enriquesen a los investigadores y no ayudan al defit de la UPR
  • el sindico estudiantil ha sido el que ha estado llevando a la Dra. Iturrondo a reuniones con los consejos de estudiantes para su apoyo en violacion a su etica como sindico
  • los senados academicos son controlados por grupos que no quieren cambios sino la inestabilidad de la UPR y asi establecen el filtro de los comites de busqueda de los candidatos a presidente

Dr. Miguel A Munoz Munoz
El Dr. Miguel A. Munoz ha demostrado en un corto periodo de tiempo que tiene el temple y el estilo que por mucho tiempo faltaba para administrar el sistema de la Universidad de Puerto Rico. Su experiencia gubernamental, conocimiento, deseo de ayudar y humildad han calado hondo no solo en la administracion central sino en toda la comunidad universitaria de los recintos que comprenden la Universidad. Cuando evaluamos los candidatos al ser considerados para la presidencia de la universidad falta uno el Dr Miguel Munoz. Su experiencia administrativa ha hecho posible que de un debacle institucional de un pasado tormentoso lo transformara en uno de esperanza, trabajo y demostrar lo que se habia erdido en nuestra sociedad el ser un servidor publico enfocado en una sola meta el servir a la comunidad universitaria. Esperamos el seguir hacia adelante con un lider que asumio las reindas de la universidad en los momentos mas dificiles y conoce la realidad verdadera del sistema universitario. Preocupa por otro lado que los candidatos a ostentar el puesto de Presidente de la Universidad de Puerto Rico esten enajenados de la realidad universitaria, de la crisis economica y mucho mas de la direccion que debe de llevar la universidad. En estos momentos dificiles donde se ha perdido la fe en nuestros lideres universitarios tenemos que contar con un lider firme en sus conviciones y con una vision y mision de lo que debe de ser la Universidad. Firme en nuestro reclamo le pedimos humildemente que la junta de sindicos considere al Dr. Miguel A. Munoz como uno de sus candidatos a Presidente en Propiedead de la Universidad.
