CCH Oriente Students Extend Indefinite Strike as Security Talks Begin After Campus-Area Assault

The first working table convened to address demands for concrete protections following the Feb. 13 knife attack.

Overview

  • Academic and administrative activities remain suspended after initial talks failed, with formal sessions set for Feb. 17, 20, 23, 25 and 27.
  • The student petition calls for reinforced vigilance, coordination with public security, turnstiles, clear emergency protocols, and written guarantees of no academic reprisals.
  • UNAM rector Leonardo Lomelí said the university requested Mexico City to intensify Sendero Seguro operations around the campus.
  • CCH Oriente reported activating security protocols and providing legal accompaniment to the injured student, with the attack occurring outside Gate 3; students also cite a prior shooting and other robberies nearby.
  • During the dialogue, students voiced opposition to campus director María Patricia Pavón being considered for the CCH’s top post for 2026–2030, a selection due in early March.
