UMSNH Detains Professor After Gender‑Violence Complaint, Tightens Campus Security Rules

Overview

• A student complaint led the university’s gender‑violence unit to inspect cubicles in Building M at Ciudad Universitaria.
• Inspectors found a professor with unspecified illicit objects, and the Secretaría de Seguridad Pública detained him as the Guardia Civil escorted him from campus.
• SSP sources said he was not presented to the public prosecutor and spent the night in Barandilla because the matter was classified as an administrative infraction.
• The university’s council met in an extraordinary session and unanimously authorized random inspections of all academic and administrative spaces, which must remain open when occupied.
• Measures also include entry protocols, centralized key control, a prohibition on non‑institutional channels, and a women‑only security group for gender‑violence response, with leaders affirming zero tolerance and urging authorities to ensure justice.
