N1 - Funding Information: Catholic universities plan to better inform the state of their participation in the public service of higher education through contracts with the National Education Ministry. They do not exclude the idea of a law authorizing and justifying the financing of Catholic universities. Their request for financial support from the state is always backed up by the following argument: that it will allow them to practically exercise the freedom to provide higher education without having to ask families for overly high inscription fees that make it impossible to exercise this freedom. Funding Information: Public authorities contribute to the financing of universities, especially through payment of salaries to staff (academic, scientific, and administrative), investments, operating costs, program contracts, and others, on the basis of an annual donation and the financing of research contracts. Public authorities monitor the proper management of free universities, including Catholic universities, with the presence of a representative of the public authorities on the governing board and an administrative check carried out on the basis of financial monitoring on accounts and budgets. Catholic universities receive funding from civil society. Presently, this is only a modest contribution.
