Overview
- Student groups took control of the Faculty of Law and Political Science on Thursday, July 9, presenting a six-point list of demands that centers on approving a Reglamento de Tacha Docente to evaluate professor performance.
- The petition asks the dean to install a formal dialogue table to negotiate the claims and the students say they will end the occupation only if that meeting is agreed to.
- UNMSM suspended in-person activities in the affected faculty and moved classes to virtual mode while the occupation continues and university authorities had not issued a public response by the end of reporting.
- Organizers launched a donations campaign for food and supplies and formally requested guarantees against disciplinary sanctions for participants as part of their logistic and legal protections.
- The protest adds strain to campus governance ahead of the rector’s July 25 term end, with no election timetable in place and ONPE unavailable to provide technological support for internal voting.
