Overview
- The campus will reopen in phases: first-semester students on Nov. 24, third on Nov. 25, fifth on Nov. 26, with all students back on Nov. 27.
- School leaders say access controls now include bidirectional turnstiles with photo ID, metal detectors at each entrance, new lighting and reflectors, and expanded video surveillance.
- Parents and students who toured the site reported lingering gaps such as dark corridors, nonfunctioning or obstructed lights, uninstalled panic buttons, and bathrooms still under repair.
- Director Susana Lira told more than 450 staff on a Zoom call that the decision is set, described the term as atypical, and asked instructors to prioritize minimal content after weeks online.
- The administration credits agreements from dialogue tables with students, families, workers, the CCH Directorate General, and UNAM’s Rectorate, though some parents say they were not consulted.
