Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander - 5:9 (apparently)
flag, horizontally divided white-black-orange-light green
(12:1:1:1). The name of the University, in black, is placed in
the white stripe, above the logo of the University.
Flag shown on <motilon.ufps.edu.co>,
located by Dov Gutterman, which says (in Spanish):
'There is obviously an historical gap: we don't know according to
which process the flag which currently flies in the Benefactors'
Park was adopted as the official flag of the University.'

ICESI was founded in 1979 by a group of business leaders from
the Department of Valle. It is located
in the area of Pance, a suburb in the south of Cali. The flag is
horizontally divided blue-white-green (1:2:1) with the emblem of
the University placed in the midle of the white stripe. The
official size of the flag is 1.10 x 1.80 m (approx. 3.5 x 5.8
ft). The emblem of ICESI is made of a blue rosette with letters L
placed concentrically around the circumference, UNIVERSIDAD in
green capital letters and ICESI in blue capital letters, both
being placed right to the rosette, and a green line under all
items, which symbolizes unity.

According to the picture at <www.ulibrepei.edu.co>,
the seal seems smaller and towards the hoist. The
description says however that the seal is in the center.

Universidad Manuela Beltran (Bogotá)
- 2:3 (by default) flag, horizontally divided white-red. Flag
shown on <www.umb.edu.co>,
located by Dov Gutterman.
Symbolics:
- White stands for peace, science and academic harmony.
- Red stands for effort and solitary work.

In the website of the university reported above they only say
that the colors of the flag are white and red and some drawing
that is not a flag is shown, suggesting a horizontal divided
flag. In <www.umb.edu.co>
, there is a picture of the flag and a link to an animated
version. This annimate version is horizontal white over
red, with the emblem. The photograph is from a stand flag
but it seems to be diagonal divided, white on the top-hoist and
red on the fly-bottom, and includes the emblem (set diagonally so
at it looks right in the stand flag).
The flag I have seen flying is diagonally divided, with no
emblem. Let me confiirm, I am pretty sure it is diagonally
divided but last time I checked there was no wind (and I was
driving) so I am not sure on the disposition of the colors.
Red seemed to be above, and white seemed to be towards the fly,
anyhow.

Pontificia Bolivariana. The flag of UPB is horizontally divided
red-green. 2:3 proportion used by default. The website says that
red stands for charity, and black for science and modesty.

UPB located in the famous city of Medellin,
Colombia. At <www.upb.edu.co>,
you'll find the Coat of Arms in which you find prominently the
Cross of Christ (called by them "Cruz de los Caballeros de
Portugal", that is, "Cross of the Knights of
Portugal").

Faculty of Law and Political Sciences

Faculty of Law and Political Sciences, University Santiago of Cali - The image of the flag, shown
without comments on the aforementioned website, is a bit
problematic. The flag is made of three horizontal stripes,
blue-white-green, and a vertical pink stripe is placed along the
hoist. The overall proportion of the image is 100:222, but
excluding the vertical stripe, we have a 1:2 flag! The colours
seem also to be weird, especially the pink, but they are derived
from the University shield, which is shown with a blue field, a
green border and pink writings.

Translated from Universidad Santo Tomás websites: <www.usta.edu.co>
(Bogotá) and <www.ustabuca.edu.co>
(Bucaramanga, Santander):
"The flag is composed by five horizontal bands, three in
green and two white alternated, the university shield in the
middle and in the top the national tricolor in triangle".
The pictures do not show the flag completly , so I know I miss
the "national tricolor in triangle", this should mean a
triangle of yellow, blue and red.
