History
In 1887 the Ecuador government signed an agreement with Don Bosco for the Salesians to take under their responsibility the Catholic Protectorate of Arts and Trades in Quito. Ecuador was the first one of the non-European countries to receive the children of the educator saint of Turin; the first was Argentina in 1877.
Foundation of the UPS
On August 5, 1994 the National Congress of Ecuador created the Politecnica Salesiana University, with its counterpart in the city of Cuenca, with headquarters in the cities of Quito and Guayaquil. Academic activities began in October of the same year.
2011 Protest
In April 2011, according to Ecuador's "Hoy" news, about 150 indigenous protestors prevented people from coming and going from and to the campus for several hours. This was in protest to allegedly being scammed out of money in relation to land by the school's former rector.
