CCH Sur Sets Feb. 3 Return to In-Person Classes With New Security Measures

The move follows months of remote instruction after a September killing, prompted by upgrades that add biometric access controls, more emergency buttons, new lighting, cameras and trained brigades.

Overview

  • The UNAM high school campus announced that semester 2026-2 will begin on Tuesday, February 3, with classes on site.
  • The reopening comes with biometric turnstile access, additional emergency buttons, expanded lighting and camera coverage, and trained university brigades.
  • The shift back follows the September 22, 2025 fatal stabbing of student Jesús Israel on campus, during which a worker identified as Armando "N" was injured.
  • The accused, 19-year-old Lex Ashton, remains in preventive detention at Reclusorio Oriente on homicide and injury charges following an October 2025 court ruling.
  • Students had taken classes online since September, with November walkthroughs of security upgrades and reported internal surveys that favored staying remote.
