UNAM Restarts In-Person Classes as Bomb Note Prompts FCPyS Evacuation

Specialized teams found no explosive device after inspections.

Overview

  • More than thirty UNAM schools and faculties resumed on-campus activities after two weeks of disruptions linked to threats and the CCH Sur homicide.
  • FCPyS was evacuated in the morning after a typed note found in a bathroom warned of a bomb and the alert circulated in WhatsApp groups, triggering the university’s emergency protocol.
  • A joint search by UNAM Civil Protection and Fire Brigade with the SSC’s Zorros unit determined the alert was a false alarm, and afternoon classes were contemplated to resume at the faculty.
  • Several units remain partially disrupted, with Odontology, Veterinary Medicine, Social Work, Medicine, CCH Sur and ENES Morelia reported on strike, while Chemistry continues remote classes.
  • Faculties rolled out reinforced access controls and mental-health support, with Law announcing a zero-tolerance policy on violence and Psychology launching a Mental Health Fair and temporary entry checks.
