The José Simeón Cañas Central American University (UCA, 1965) is the Jesuit-run private university of El Salvador and one of the most prestigious in Central America. 🕯️ Honest context (documented, attributed): on 16 November 1989, during the civil war, six Jesuit priests of the UCA, their housekeeper and her daughter were murdered on the campus; the UN Truth Commission for El Salvador attributed the killings to the Salvadoran Army. Recorded factually and with the gravity this history demands, consistent with how institutions' own histories are documented elsewhere in AlmiStudy.
