CCH Sur Stays Shut Pending More Guards as UNAM Sets Rapid Security Deadlines

University leaders set short deadlines for safety upgrades that will be measured by community verification.

Overview

  • Roughly 300 CCH Sur professors agreed not to resume in-person classes and delivered a 13-point petition seeking more trained surveillance staff, access turnstiles and metal detectors, and tighter entry controls.
  • In a Friday dialogue, campus authorities committed to fix security-system failures within 14 days and to publish a technical report, work schedule and updated site maps with monthly surprise inspections.
  • UNAM will roll out credentialing and biometric turnstiles at main and parking entrances, form internal brigades, expand mental-health support, and open anonymous reporting channels with cyberpolice follow-up.
  • Students insisted that technology and brigades cannot replace a larger on-site guard presence, and the administration will present within a week an analysis of the ideal number of vigilantes and a clear emergency action route.
  • Most UNAM units are phasing back to classrooms, while FES Iztacala was evacuated over a shooting threat judged false and will resume activities on October 4 with formal complaints filed against those responsible.
