UNAM Sets Friday Security Accord With CCH Sur Families to Tighten Access and Expand Support

Parents condition a full return on fixed metal detectors, credential verification, documented surveillance, with a rollout plan due this week.

Overview

  • University officials said the agreement will launch biometric access controls, fixed detectors or turnstiles, expanded cameras, improved lighting, panic buttons and mental‑health programs across CCH and preparatory schools through a phased deployment.
  • CCH Sur families demanded fixed detectors at the main gate and staff lot, immediate credential checks progressing to electronic systems, monthly external certification of camera functionality, and written disclosure of security staffing, with a detailed timeline due Friday and a follow‑up meeting on October 6.
  • The Special Security Commission approved a route and schedule to update protocols and ordered CCH Sur to upgrade access infrastructure as quickly as possible.
  • Rector Leonardo Lomelí directed all faculties and schools to implement specific, forceful security changes to enable a return to in‑person classes, with 14 entities in work stoppage, 15 online and 19 operating on campus.
  • Federal authorities are assisting investigations in coordination with UNAM autonomy, officials say most threats reuse identical wording with two individuals already identified, and 16 additional psychologists will begin service on October 6.
