UAEM Pushes Mixed Return to Classes as Student Occupations Persist

Observers call for measurable safety commitments to rebuild trust.

Overview

  • UAEM said it restarted teaching in a mixed in-person and online model for about 30,000 students under its Entornos Seguros y Bienestar Universitario 2026 plan.
  • The university reported 75% of high school and undergraduate enrollment back in some form of class, with 80% of graduate students still online.
  • The self-described Resistencia Estudiantil said it remains in 28 academic units and accused some officials of pressuring returns through roll calls, uniformed convocations, and surveillance.
  • At the School of Nursing, students forced open the gates after a month-long stoppage and Procuradora Araceli Álvarez Castro mediated a handover in which the director pledged no academic reprisals.
  • Talks stalled after an incident in the School of Nutrition, and observer Pietro Ameglio and parents urged verifiable safety steps and formal recognition of student spokespeople to prevent a deeper clash.
