The Universidad Nacional de Asunción (UNA) has faced multiple internal crises involving student welfare and institutional integrity.

Initially, the Law Faculty came under scrutiny following allegations from the Centro de Estudiantes de Derecho (CEDEUNA) regarding academic misconduct. Reports suggested that student leaders and faculty members may have engaged in influence peddling, using academic evaluations to facilitate favors for some students or to cause others to fail.

Subsequently, the university expanded its focus to address reports of harassment and privacy violations. The Federation of Students of the Universidad Nacional de Asunción (Feuna) highlighted issues including digital violence, gender-based violence, and the non-consensual sharing or AI-driven manipulation of images. In response, the university rectorate established an institutional working group to manage these cases, emphasizing confidentiality and the potential referral of criminal matters to the Public Ministry and the Ministry of Women.

Recent developments have seen the Faculty of Medical Sciences (FCM-UNA) issue a statement rejecting actions that violate individual dignity or privacy, warning of disciplinary measures. The Archdiocese of Asunción has also expressed solidarity with those affected, specifically addressing the use of artificial intelligence to create sexual montages and the non-consensual distribution of private images. The Archdiocese emphasized that digital tools used to violate human dignity do not absolve creators or distributors of accountability for the real-world harm caused by manipulated imagery.
