1974 by Resolution 330 of the Secreatary of Education of the
Special District. Its name was then Institucio'n para el
Desarrollo Humano (Institute for the Human Development). In 1977,

The flag of the Institute is an orange field with the emblem of
the Institute in the middle. Orange was selected as the result of
mixing red and yellow, red symbolizing love, energy and strength,
whereas yellow symboizes wealth, greatness and life.
The emblem of the Institute is made of three black rings slightly
excentered. In the middle of the rings is a stylized human being,
in black, too. INPAHU is written in black capital letters below
the rings. When applied on the flag, the emblem lacks the

CEIPA is the 'Centro de Investigacion y Planeamiento
Administrativo'. It was founded in Medellin in 1972 by Antonio
Mazo Mejia and his wife. In 1992, the CEIPA was granted the
status of Universitary Foundation.
The flag of CEIPA is yellow, for excellence, with two thin white
stripes, for transparency required for excellence in business, in
the upper and lower parts of the flag, and the shield of the
institute in the middle.
The shield of CEIPA is U-shaped, for University. The symbol
placed on the shield was used in the Middle Ages by merchants.
The four arrows symbolize the four compass directions, in which
commerce should spread, whereas the moon crescents and stars are
symbols of business. This medieval symbol was selected to recall
that both business and university concepts date back to the
Middle Ages.

Some background from the university website:
"The Colombian Polytechnic Jaime Isaza Cadavid is a Public
University Institution, funded by the departmental government of
Antioquia. Founded in 1964, the Polytechnic now caters for
approximately 13,200 students. The main campus is situated
in El Poblado, in the city of Medellín, and counts on 1,300
educational and 350 administrative staff, as well as its
three academic centers in other municipalities of the department
of Antioquia.
The Polytechnic is a national leader in technological education
and at present offers higher education at technological,
technical and academic levels with a range of pregraduate and
postgraduate courses in areas such as Engineering,
Administration, Agrarian Sciences, Audiovisual Communication,
Sport and Recreation. These programs are supplemented by various
extension, continued education and informal courses available to
the general public."
"Poli" is named after Jaime Isaza Cadavid (1919-1965).
Cadavid studied in the Faculty of Law of the University of
Antioquia. He had liberal leanings and was elected Deputy at the
Departmental Assembly of Antioquia, (Municipal?) Councillor in
Fredonia and Antioquia, Deputy at the Chamber and Senator of the
Republic. He served as Dean and Professor ad Honorem in the
Facukty of Law of the University of Medellin. He significantly
contributed to the foundation of "Poli"; by Order 11 of
30 November 1965, his name was given to "Poli" as a
posthumous tribute.
The flag of "Poli" recalls the shield of the
University, which is per fess or and vert with additional
charges. Or/yellow symbolizes "pujanza" (pugnacity?) of
the students whereas Vert/green symbolizes hope and confidence in
the future.

"Pontificia Universidad Javeriana" is a catholic
university dated from 1621. You can find the flag and symbols of
this university <www.javeriana.edu.co>.
Jorge Eduardo Alonso, 8 June 2002
The flag of the University is made of three horizontal stripes
yellow, white and blue, of equal width. The flag is presecribed
by General Regulation #794.
As pointed out by Jorge, the University has a very long history,
divided into two distinct periods:
1621-1767 - Pope Gregor XV allowed the Jesuits to found
universities in South America by a brief dated 9 July 1621. The
"Academia de San Francisco Javier", named after St.
Francis-Xavier, was confirmed by an order of King of Spain Philip
III dated 2 March 1622. On 23 June 1704, Pope Clement XII granted
the "Academia" the title of "Public
University". The first period of the University ended on 1
July 1767, when King of Spain Charles III expelled the Jesuits
from his dominions.
1930 - The University was reestablished on 1 October 1930. On 31
July 1937 (St. Ignatius of Loyola's Day), the University was
granted by the Holy See the title of "Pontifical
University". Its current statute was approved by the Holy
See on 27 April 1978 and by Resolution # 5117, dated 16 May 1985,
signed by the Minister of National Eductaion of Columbia.

Concering Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogotá, the site
just says "blue", but the shade I have always seen
flying is light sky blue (together with the Vatican and Colombian
flags). Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Cali, Valle del
Cauca is actually the same University as Javeriana Bogotá, but
has a lot of authonomy. The simbols, incliding the flag,
are the same. In the website <www.puj.edu.co>
they do use the light shade of blue.
Carlos Thompson, 27 May 2003
I study at the PUJ and the flag that I've seen, which is flown
rarely (at beginning of semesters, when an important jesuit dies
etc.), use the same shade of blue than that of the Colombia flag.

I am based mostly on memory (I am Javeriano too) and on these

I was today at my University and it was an interesting display
of flags. On each pole set, they had flying the flags of Colombia
(in the middle), the University (at the viewers left) and the
Vatican (without the charge: plain yellow and white per pale; at
the right). Also, on every mast there was two vertical flags
framed: the University's and the Colombian flag. (Javeriana
flag at viewers left, and top to the left in both flags).
The shade of blue on all those flags was the same shade as the
Colombian flag (some times it seem slightly lighter, but
definitively it was not sky blue).

The Colegio Mayor de Cultura Femenina de Cundinamarca was
established by law #45 in 1945. It became an Universitary
institution in 1981 and was granted its current name by law #91
in 1993.
The flag of the institution was prescribed by 'acuerdo' #027 in
1985. It seesm to be horizontally divided green-white-red. The
image on the source quoted below shows the upper strip partially
white, but this must be a mistake. Once again, confirmation of
the true flag design is required.
