Overview
- Rector Leonardo Lomelí Vanegas appointed Manuel Palma Rangel, a 25-year UNAM economics professor and former penitentiary official, to head SPAMSU, replacing Raúl Arcenio Aguilar Tamayo, who will continue collaborating with the university.
- Palma was instructed to convene the community and security commissions to produce a diagnostic evaluation that identifies areas for improvement in safety and campus life.
- He pledged to prioritize prevention, communication, and permanent coordination with all university entities to keep academic spaces secure.
- The leadership change comes as four schools remain on strike, while the Faculties of Chemistry and Political Science continue classes online and CCH Sur works to establish conditions for a safe return.
- The crisis has intensified after violent incidents, including the killing at CCH Sur and the reported death of a Cruz Azul fan allegedly restrained by UNAM Civil Protection personnel outside the university stadium.
