However, there is a gap in how evidence is used for decision making that affects students and staff in universities. This article is a contribution to the existing gap, making the analysis of a specific case on how Catalan universities have managed the decision making regarding their staff in the face of the pandemic situation with the COVID-19. In this article, through the interview with managers and faculty from different Catalan universities, it will be shown to what extent these university institutions have opted for decision making in the management of the situation based on scientific evidence or simply compliance with government regulations.28 p.application/pdfengcc-by (c) García Yeste, Carme et al., 2022https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/UniversitatsCOVID-19Política educativaCatalunyaUniversitiesCOVID-19Educational policyCataloniaBeginning of the course of the Catalan Universities towards the COVID-19: Evidence versus NegligenceInicio del Curso de las Universidades Catalanas hacia el Covid-19: la Evidencia frente a la Negligenciainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7319392023-03-09info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
