UAEMex Engineering Faculty Occupation Persists After Student Clashes and Failed Talks

Failed negotiations have left the resumption of classes on August 18 uncertain as security forces monitor the contested building.

Overview

  • Students accused masked occupiers of being non-enrolled outsiders and said that a community vote to vacate the faculty was disregarded.
  • Paristas countered that students used force to enter the campus by cutting a fence along Paseo Universidad.
  • University security, state police and Protección Civil intervened to contain verbal confrontations but did not clear the building.
  • A three-hour dialogue table ended without agreement on conditions or a timeline for ending the occupation.
  • Classes scheduled to restart on August 18 remain in jeopardy as both sides continue negotiations to resolve the standoff.
