Taking the Intercultural University of State of Mexico as an example or case study, the conflictive relationship between its academic mission and the rigor of university administrative regulations is problematized. This contradiction is shown between the mission expected of university to train professionals and intellectuals committed to their languages and communities of origin, and the administrative structure that subjects its substantive activities (including community ties) and academic actors to rigorous regulations that prevent it from carrying out that mission without friction. This situation of double bind crystallizes in an institution trapped between the enunciation of its commitment to the indigenous community and the bureaucratic rules of its government structure.
