Students mount paros to demand tighter security alongside expanded mental‑health support.

Overview

  • Rector Leonardo Lomelí said the university will redouble efforts on campus safety and reinforce psychological care, stressing that UNAM is not overwhelmed by recent incidents.
  • He confirmed a review and tightening of security protocols and said reintroducing entry checks is under consideration after past controversy over the measure.
  • UNAM set up dialogue tables with students and parents from CCH Sur to define additional actions in response to the fatal stabbing.
  • Multiple planteles suspended activities as assemblies and marches pressed for transparent investigations, effective protection on and around campuses, and robust mental‑health services.
