CCH Sur says teacher accused of harassment is no longer at UNAM
CCH Sur says a teacher accused of harassment is no longer part of its community after student protests at the UNAM school.
The school did not say whether the teacher was dismissed, removed through an administrative process or left for another reason.
Students raised concerns about gender-based violence, their university rights and campus safety during three meetings with school officials this month.
Officials said they reached agreements to address those demands and provide legal support to students.
Students said they do not plan to stop classes or occupy the campus, and school leaders praised their decision to continue talks.
On October 7, masked people damaged entrance turnstiles, facial-recognition cameras and security shutters, prompting a temporary suspension of in-person activities.
The school’s security equipment needed repairs before normal in-person activities could safely resume, but the sources do not say when repairs will be completed.

What people are saying
In relation to the case of the teacher that prompted some of the grievances, we report that he is no longer part of the university community.
The case will be addressed with all the firmness it requires and in accordance with university regulations, as we have always done.
If we do not have a formal complaint, it will be difficult for us to address the situation, because the greatest difficulty arises when people who come forward for the first time do not return to formalize the complaint.
