Translated from Universidad del Bosque (Bogota)
website at <www.unbosque.edu.co>:
"Using several schemas used for sumarizing a few of the
program ideas, the flag was designed. A rectangle which two
oblique lines divide in three triangles: the upper and the lower
are rectangle (triangles) and in the middle another triangles
that is openning till it reache the bass and continues to the
infinity meaning the raising complexity of our studies, the
progressive increment of our knowledge that never ends. The
upper in orange color, the color of medicine, the lower in green
color symbol of hope, and the central white, sign of clean and
purity and in it the symbol".

Universidad de Nariño - 22:27 flag, horizontally divided
green-yellow-red. Flag shown on <www.udenar.edu.co>,
located by Dov Gutterman, with proportion 2:3. Anyway,
the text near the image clearly states that the proportion shall
be 22:27, the usual size being 1.10 x 1.35 m and the flag being
hoisted on a pole of 2.50 m high. The shield of the University
shall be placed in its middle (I don't understand of what, the
pole, or, most probably, the flag itself).

Translation from Universidad del Valle (Cali, Valle del Cauca)

vertical bars, in order: red, white, red; representing the three
basic activities of the University: Teaching, Research and
Extension. In the central white bar the Logo is placed in

(12:1:1:1). The name of the University, in black, is placed in
the white stripe, above the logo of the University.
Flag shown on <motilon.ufps.edu.co>,
located by Dov Gutterman, which says (in Spanish):
'There is obviously an historical gap: we don't know according to
which process the flag which currently flies in the Benefactors'
Park was adopted as the official flag of the University.'

According to the picture at <www.ulibrepei.edu.co>,
the seal seems smaller and towards the hoist. The
description says however that the seal is in the center.

Universidad Manuela Beltran (Bogotá)
- 2:3 (by default) flag, horizontally divided white-red. Flag
shown on <www.umb.edu.co>,
located by Dov Gutterman.
Symbolics:
- White stands for peace, science and academic harmony.
- Red stands for effort and solitary work.
Ivan Sache, 9 June 2001
In the website of the university reported above they only say
that the colors of the flag are white and red and some drawing
that is not a flag is shown, suggesting a horizontal divided
flag. In <www.umb.edu.co>
, there is a picture of the flag and a link to an animated
version. This annimate version is horizontal white over
red, with the emblem. The photograph is from a stand flag
but it seems to be diagonal divided, white on the top-hoist and
red on the fly-bottom, and includes the emblem (set diagonally so
at it looks right in the stand flag).
The flag I have seen flying is diagonally divided, with no
emblem. Let me confiirm, I am pretty sure it is diagonally
divided but last time I checked there was no wind (and I was
driving) so I am not sure on the disposition of the colors.
Red seemed to be above, and white seemed to be towards the fly,
anyhow.

Faculty of Law and Political Sciences, University Santiago of Cali - The image of the flag, shown
without comments on the aforementioned website, is a bit
problematic. The flag is made of three horizontal stripes,
blue-white-green, and a vertical pink stripe is placed along the
hoist. The overall proportion of the image is 100:222, but
excluding the vertical stripe, we have a 1:2 flag! The colours
seem also to be weird, especially the pink, but they are derived
from the University shield, which is shown with a blue field, a
green border and pink writings.

Translated from Universidad Santo Tomás websites: <www.usta.edu.co>
(Bogotá) and <www.ustabuca.edu.co>
(Bucaramanga, Santander):
"The flag is composed by five horizontal bands, three in
green and two white alternated, the university shield in the
middle and in the top the national tricolor in triangle".
The pictures do not show the flag completly , so I know I miss
the "national tricolor in triangle", this should mean a
triangle of yellow, blue and red.
