Analyzing how university teachers' academic calling is changing entails understanding the changing motivational pressures they are subject to. Over the course of the last ten years, the use of federal Economic Stimulus Programs (PEEs) in Mexican public universities has been a factor that needs to be analyzed both for its successes and also in terms of some undesirable effects it has had. Many have suggested that the change in the objective well-being of academics that is caused by these PEEs does not necessarily result in an improvement in their performance as researchers or teachers. The purpose of this paper is, therefore, to provide information on the actual situation, which is more tenuous when making a distinction among: the gap between what academics believe regarding the notion of quality, the value provided by the PEEs to their teaching duties, professors' multifunctional profile, or other academic functions such as research. Based on an abbreviated method designed to observe the viewpoint imposed on the faculty, which consists of the design of a questionnaire and an initial interpretation of its results, we will show how the statistical data were obtained. These data will be also useful for a subsequent qualitative interpretation. The idea is to encourage the confluence of ideas that derive from this method and that different researchers would want to delve into. In this case the data are combined with information that explains some of the effects inferred from them that are related to teaching. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The European System of Credit Transfer (ECTS) expresses a true change in the methodology of the European Higher Education. A more advanced model in which the student changes teaching and learning based in knowledge reception, to a new education, raised on skills development in students. This system demand training teachers to teach to learn and, therefore, it requires a bigger responsibility of the students in their own education, something that does nothing but aggravate the difficulties of disabled students. In public universities, there are 7.408 disabled students, the 0.53% of total students, according to the White Paper on Disability at the University carried out based on data CERMI. As for private universities, and with the available data, the percentage of students with disabilities is 0.24%. The Universities Act requires individual attention to disabled students, but in practice as we can see there are still barriers caused mainly by poor organization and for an almost nonexistent teaching material adapted to the special needs that are required.
