Overview

  • FES Iztacala evacuated after a classroom message warned of a shooting; an exhaustive review found no risk and activities were set to resume on October 4, with complaints filed to identify those responsible.
  • FES Cuautitlán cleared its facilities following an online bomb threat; no device was found and operations are scheduled to restart on Monday, October 6, with a case referred to the State of Mexico prosecutor.
  • At CCH Sur, authorities and students signed a six-point accord for more trained guards, upgraded cameras, metal detectors and alarm buttons, protocol training, and monthly audits, with 14-day technical fixes, a one-week staffing analysis, and a November 15 infrastructure diagnostic.
  • About 300 CCH Sur professors say they will not resume in-person classes until a concrete timetable and minimum safety conditions are in place, pressing for controlled access, turnstiles, and stronger mental-health support.
  • Across UNAM, schools are reopening in stages under tightened protocols, and other universities such as UPN and BUAP have moved to reinforce campus security in coordination with law enforcement.
