The Sciences and Humanities College (CCH) South suspended in-person classes until further notice, after turnstiles and security devices were vandalized yesterday during a student protest stemming from a case of sexual harassment by a teacher against a student. María Patricia García Pavón, director general of the National School Sciences and Humanities College, reported that the accused professor was removed from the campus to handle the administrative proceeding and is being attended to by the institution's legal unit. "Here, the first point of contact students have to file a complaint — if it is a harassment complaint — they can go to any member of the directive body or to the tutor teachers to report the situation immediately. These complaints are processed only through the ombudsman's office. What have we done? I insist, training the teachers. We have done very important work in this recent inter-annual period with the university rights ombudsman's office," she explained. At a press conference, she revealed that people from outside the college entered and "the recognition [process] was obstructed so that other outsiders could enter, and there was a mix of hooded individuals who acted against the community itself. They are violating the security of our community, damaging this equipment — beyond the cost, the most important damage is the violation of our community's security," she said. García Pavón mentioned that the institution is coordinating with authorities from the Mexico City Secretariat of Citizen Security to guarantee order inside and outside the campus, as it has also been detected that students consume alcohol and other substances outside the facilities. "I would invite them to inform themselves through the official information channels of the college and the campus. Through communication with their teachers, who can give them reliable information on the matter, and to avoid, first of all, lending themselves to spreading information whose origin they are not certain of. Second, the kids are free to express themselves and organize, and that freedom of organization is granted, but we must ensure that they are members of the community itself," she expressed this afternoon.
