Fundacio'n Escuela Superior Profesional INPAHU was funded in
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,
Resolution 148 of the Secreatary of Education of the Special
District changed its name to Escuela Superior de Carreras
Intermedias INPAHU. On 9 October 1981, the Institute current name
was approved by Resolution 16971 of Minister of National
Education.
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
writings.

"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.
Jaime Vengoechea, 10 June 2003
I am based mostly on memory (I am Javeriano too) and on these
pictures: <sparta.javeriana.edu.co//img1.jpg>
and <img5.jpg>.

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).

Translated from Universidad del Bosque (Bogota)
website at <www.unbosque.edu.co>:
"Using several schemas used for sumarizing a few of the
program ideas, the flag was designed. A rectangle which two
oblique lines divide in three triangles: the upper and the lower
are rectangle (triangles) and in the middle another triangles
that is openning till it reache the bass and continues to the
infinity meaning the raising complexity of our studies, the
progressive increment of our knowledge that never ends. The
upper in orange color, the color of medicine, the lower in green
color symbol of hope, and the central white, sign of clean and
purity and in it the symbol".

Acording to the site of the Universidad del Cauca <www.unicauca.edu.co>,
the flag has 12 stripes.
From the site: "Formada por doce barras azules y rojas de
igual tamaño, alternadas y colocadas perpendicularmente al asta,
fue adoptada en la misma fecha y por el mismo Acuerdo de Alta
Corporación Universitaria, con ocasión de conmemorarse un año
más de su fundación del Alma Mater." [Formed by twelve
equalsized stripes alterned blue and red, perpendicular to the
hoist, was adopted the same date (November 7, 1922) and by the
same Agreement of High University Corporation (Consejo Directivo
Universitario) in conmemoration of one more year of the fundation
of the Alma Mater.]

Universidad de Nariño - 22:27 flag, horizontally divided
green-yellow-red. Flag shown on <www.udenar.edu.co>,
located by Dov Gutterman, with proportion 2:3. Anyway,
the text near the image clearly states that the proportion shall
be 22:27, the usual size being 1.10 x 1.35 m and the flag being
hoisted on a pole of 2.50 m high. The shield of the University
shall be placed in its middle (I don't understand of what, the
pole, or, most probably, the flag itself).

The flag is horizontally divided orange-black. Proportion
seems to be 1:2 on the image of the website. The website says
that orange stands for youth, creativeness and intelligence, and
black for sobriety, rigour and academic excellence.

Translation from Universidad del Valle (Cali, Valle del Cauca)
website <www.univalle.edu.co>:
"The Valle University adopts a flag design possing as a
basic feature a great symbolic force, giving red as a
representative color. The flag design shows three equalsized
vertical bars, in order: red, white, red; representing the three
basic activities of the University: Teaching, Research and
Extension. In the central white bar the Logo is placed in
red. The flag must be used in every important events for the
University as one of its representative symbols".
