UNAM to Review Security After CCH Sur Killing as Rector Weighs Entry Checks

The university signals a shift toward tighter safeguards following days of protests across multiple campuses.

Overview

  • Mexico City prosecutors are investigating the CCH Sur homicide as aggravated murder and intentional injury, and the alleged attacker remains hospitalized under police custody after jumping from a building.
  • Rector Leonardo Lomelí said the institution is not overwhelmed by recent incidents and ordered protocol reviews, citing a swift response to a brawl at FES Acatlán where three people were detained.
  • Lomelí did not rule out reinstating student entry searches to block weapons, noting the measure was contentious in the past and has not been adopted.
  • UNAM will expand psychological services and urges efforts to counter harmful online messaging, underscoring mental health as a priority for prevention.
  • Student stoppages have spread to multiple faculties and schools, with assemblies and a march to Rectoría, as authorities open a dialogue table with CCH Sur students and parents to design additional measures.
