Education / Pedagogy
The context is the higher education reform in Chile of 1981. The full sentence is: "Las dos universidades estatales nacionales (U. de Chile y U. Técnica del Estado) existentes previo a la reforma de 1981 dieron origen a catorce universidades estatales después de la reforma y las seis universidades privadas se transformaron por la segregación de una de ellas en nueve universidades privadas."
Does anyone know what this "segregación" refers too? I know in the case of State universities, regional campuses were converted into independent universities. Was a different method applied to private universities?
Note: this is an article to be published in a journal.

This is what it looks like to me.
University of Bordeaux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Bordeaux
Following May 1968, **the university was split into three universities:** Bordeaux 1, Bordeaux 2, and Bordeaux 3. In 1995, Bordeaux 4 split off from Bordeaux I.

In the sentence itself it would read, "..one of them splitting/dividing into..." or the passive construction, "one of them being split/divided into..."
