UABC Students Demand Stronger Campus Security After Assault on First‑Semester Student

University administrators pledge concrete safety upgrades following the attack.

Overview

  • The student, identified as Gustavo, suffered a jaw fracture in a Sept. 24 assault near the Facultad de Ciencias Administrativas, underwent surgery, and has been discharged to recover.
  • Faculty leadership says the case was reported to the Fiscalía and security‑camera footage is under review, and they do not believe the assailants are university students.
  • Hundreds of students blocked Bulevar Río Nuevo on Sept. 29–30, criticizing unclear official information on the victim’s condition and alleging guards failed to intervene promptly.
  • Officials acknowledge 14 guards cover more than 5,000 students at the faculty and announce measures including new protocols, added lighting, a security tower linked to municipal police, and increased patrols.
  • A separate student reported an attempted abduction near the Faculty of Sports on Oct. 1; the faculty described it as an attempted robbery, campus protocols were activated, and municipal police took the report with no formal Fiscalía complaint yet.
