Overview
- In a new social media post on January 16, Rector Yarabí Ávila criticized a surge of outside commentary on the university’s finances and suggested political motives as state and union criticisms escalate.
- Ávila rejects that the university received illicit or extraordinary support, specifying roughly 61 million pesos in federal transfers and 39 million pesos from the state that she says were pre‑agreed and formalized in a second annex.
- She cites continuous oversight, including a 2023-requested forensic audit by the federal auditor, routine state and federal reviews, and mandatory quarterly financial reports tied to federal disbursements.
- The rector points to traceable, stamped payroll records and notes 72 consecutive on‑time pay periods and an early year‑end bonus payment as evidence of orderly budget management.
- Looking ahead, she warns that annual salary reviews could strain finances, noting national guidance near 4% versus higher union demands and highlighting that delayed agreements trigger retroactive costs and higher withholdings.
