University of Lanús Says Alleged Attacker No Longer on Teaching Staff After On‑Campus Assault

A viral video of a professor hitting libertarian students triggered swift action by the university and the national government.

Overview

  • Students from Crear+Libertad, a group linked to President Javier Milei’s party, said a professor attacked them Wednesday while they set up a table on campus, in videos that show punches, threats, and an attempt to grab a phone.
  • The students filed a criminal complaint and reported that one member, identified as Julián Aguilar, suffered a fractured rib in the confrontation.
  • UNLA condemned the violence, opened an internal investigation, and said it will apply sanctions under its rules.
  • Following Friday’s meeting with a national education official, Rector Daniel Bozzani said the individual seen attacking students is no longer on the teaching roster and that further measures will follow.
  • The Ministry of Capital Humano demanded explanations and security guarantees, as the footage spread widely and intensified scrutiny of political tensions and speech on Argentine campuses.
