A while ago in May I spotted the ESAP flag shown on TV during
the ceremonies for their 50th anniversary.
The ESAP (Escuela Superior de Administración Pública, Public
Administration Superior School) was established by Law 19 of
November 25, 1958 and traces its origins as a response to
several missions to the country made earlier, but mainly during
the regime of General Gustavo Rojas Pinilla (1953-1957), among
them a commission from the French Government (n.d), The Kemmerer
mission (led by prestigious Economist Edwin Walter Kemmerer which
lasted several years and went to several countries, and visited
Colombia in 1923 to help establish the Central Bank, today known
as Banco de la República) the World Bank Mission in 1949 led by
Profesor Kerry, The Louchlin Currier mission (led by
Canadian-born Economist, later U.S. naturalized citizen and then
Colombian citizen after the U.S. denied to renew his passport
Lauchlin Bernard Currie between 1949 and 1953), and
also private foundations such as the Ford and Kellogg
Foundations), in which some of their recomendations were to
modernize the Colombian State Organization.
The ESAP is a Public University under the DAFP and helps in administrative
tasks to educate people who are to work in the civil service.
It currently operates several branches around to cover the whole
country as follows:

Is this "bearing a golden staff", or "its flagstaff being gold-coloured"?
By accident we had two such stripes, but they were to far apart to form a single
diagonal. As a stop-gap measure I filled in the gaps with red and white.
But I wonder whether we need some sort of shading to indicate the red diagonal
on the red stripe. I now that part of the design will not be very strong,
regardless, but if one could see the red diagonal continuing, then at least the
design would make sense.
Hm, interesting, those colours. Hope apparently is an aspiration to a better
future, while life is filled with tenacity, struggle, and liberty.

On August 21, 2010 I saw the flags of the EIA (Escuela de Ingeniería de
Antioquia, Engineering School of Antioquia). The EIA has a flag which is a
horizontal navy blue with the
logo on the middle, encircled in a thin black outline. The Logo is an owl,
with the letters EIA, and below the full name of the University, plus their
motto "Ser, Saber y Servir" (To be, to know and to serve). However the flag has
the logo without the motto. Picture taken in 2010 by some University graduates.
A variant (earlier) flag is seen displaying the
CoA of
the University. Picture taken at a Campus event, most likely in 2003

The flag of the Department of Antioquia
is derived from the flag of the University of Antioquia.

The flag is presented graphically on the university
website, with the following explanation:
- White represents the limpidity of customs, characteristic of
the university life.
- Green recalls hope, permanent virtue and an optimistic horizon.
