CEIPA is the 'Centro de Investigacion y Planeamiento
Administrativo'. It was founded in Medellin in 1972 by Antonio
Mazo Mejia and his wife. In 1992, the CEIPA was granted the
status of University Foundation.
The flag of CEIPA is yellow, for excellence, with two thin white
stripes, for transparency required for excellence in business, in
the upper and lower parts of the flag, and the shield of the
institute in the middle.
The shield of CEIPA is U-shaped, for University. The symbol
placed on the shield was used in the Middle Ages by merchants.
The four arrows symbolize the four compass directions, in which
commerce should spread, whereas the moon crescents and stars are
symbols of business. This medieval symbol was selected to recall
that both business and university concepts date back to the
Middle Ages.

The flag of the institute, as graphically shown and described on
the website
of the institute, is quartered yellow-red, the colours of

It appears that the previously reported flag is wrong.

"Instituto Tecnológico del Cesar" (ITUC) was
recognized by the Assembly of the Department of Cesar in 1973
(Decree No. 050) and inaugurated on 15 May 1973. ITUC was
transformed into "Universidad Popular del Cesar" by the
Ministry of National Education on 25 June 1993 (Decree No. 3272).
The main seat of the university is located at Valledupar; there
is a secondary seat in Aguachica and presence in the
municipalities of Chimichagua, Tamalameque and Maicao.
The flag of the university, as shown graphically and described on
the University's website
, is vertically divided green-white (c. 2:1) with a
green stripe in the upper corner and the emblem of the university
in the middle of the white stripe.
The emblem of the university was designed by Jairo Obregón
Salazar, student in Law. It is made of a diamond, black in its
upper part and blue with a yellow sun in its lower part, placed
on a red device, surrounded by two laurel branches. The name of
the university is written in black letters above the emblem,
while its motto, "Educación y Futuro" ("Education
and Future"), is written in black letters under the emblem.
The diamond represents the university, permanently irradiating
light on the vast field of knowledge. Blue represents the
transparency of the sky and the revealed truth, while black
represents darkness and ignorance. The sun recalls Prometheus
stealing a sun ray to show the truth to mankind. Laurel has
always been associated to culture and was also used to crown the
Greek heroes and Roman emperors.
