Overview

• About 30 hooded individuals attempted to force entry into UNAM’s Faculty of Medicine, with initial reports indicating most were not part of the university community, and the director urged resolving differences through dialogue while condemning violence.
• The Faculty of Medicine is holding classes online from October 13, has formed a commission to follow up on dialogue agreements, and will require official ID from anyone delivering petitions to verify affiliation with data protected under transparency law.
• UNAM’s Faculty of Architecture began a total, indefinite strike on October 13 after a student vote, with the administration taking custody of the facilities and continuing maintenance to enable a safe eventual return.
• A meeting between the Architecture student assembly and the faculty leadership is scheduled for October 15 to formally deliver responses to the petition.
• At least 10 UNAM schools continue with stoppages or irregular operations, including total stoppages at Philosophy and Letters, Economics, and FES Zaragoza, an indefinite stoppage at Political Science, an active stoppage at the National School of Social Work, a partial stoppage at Veterinary Medicine, online classes at Chemistry, and a closure at Preparatory School 8.
