Departamentalización contexto institucional reforma universitaria. In this work the departmental organization at higher education institutions is commented, not as a –better or worse– plan with upper intrinsic values, but as an organizational structure that, depending on its purpose, can offer an opportunity or excuses for organizational change. The experience of the Metropolitan Autonomous University is described (UAM, Mexico), as an institution that since its origin was born with a departmental structure and with a dot-matrix service of its departments. This work offers data of the first 13 years of life (1974-1987) of the Department of Sociology in UAM, at Azcapotzalco, as a sample of this kind of system. In the example, general characteristics of age, working conditions al income, academic degree al income, institution where were formed and their labor antecedents are shown. Also, the difficulties faced initially by the educators of this institution, due to their youth, are described; as well as the nostalgia of some departments about adopting traditional systems, used in practice. This is a work that offers suggestions for educational institutions who are interested in adopting the departmental model. En este trabajo se comenta la organización departamental en las instituciones de educación superior, no como un esquema –mejor o peor– con valores intrínsecos superiores, sino como la organización que, dependiendo de su intencionalidad, puede brindar una oportunidad o excusa para el cambio organizacional. Se describe la experiencia de la Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM, México) como una institución que desde su origen nació con una estructura departamental y con el servicio matricial de sus departamentos. El texto ofrece datos de los primeros 13 años de vida (1974-1987) del Departamento de Sociología de la UAM, unidad Azcapotzalco, como muestra de la dinámica de este tipo de sistema. En el ejemplo se dan a conocer los rasgos generales de edad, condiciones de trabajo al ingreso, grado académico al ingreso, institución donde se formaron y sus antecedentes laborales. Además se describen las dificultades enfrentadas inicialmente por los académicos de esta institución, debidas a su juventud; así como la añoranza de algunos departamentos por adoptar esquemas tradicionales, usados en la práctica. Es un texto que ofrece sugerencias para las instituciones educativas con interés en adoptar el modelo departamental.
