translated from Spanish: UNAM has failed to resolve shutdowns on 3 campuses claiming harassment

At the start of the new school year, UNAM has failed to resolve student unemployment by two high schools and a faculty against sexual harassment and alleged abuses of teacher authority.
These days new dialogue tables and internal votes continue to be raised to try to end the conflicts, although prep-7 and 9 had to return to classlast last Monday, and the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters (FFyL) has two more weeks before the start of the course marking the school year, without the past being over, since the lack of activities also stopped the application of final exams.

In Prepa 9, Pedro de Alba, where on Monday some parents and students dissatisfied with the unemployment demonstrated outside the premises to demand that couplers already deliver it, there will be a new dialogue table on Thursday at 13 hours. This school has not had activities since November 12, amid allegations that teachers have harassed students and complaints that the authorities are keeping them unpunished.
In Prepa 7, Ezequiel A. Chávez, until next Friday at 10 a.m. the next dialogue table with the authorities, which will be the eighth, is convened. The previous one was on Friday 3, still in vacation period, in which the Directorate General of the National Preparatory School (DGENP) had made proposals to the request specification of the students, on improving the security around the campus and improving attention to allegations of sexual harassment, but without the immediate dismissal of officials and the non-re-election of the director María del Carmen Rodríguez.
UNAM’s representation had agreed to sign a letter of non-retaliation against the paristas; but, according to the Student Assembly, this letter was conditional on the school authorities having control of the campus again, and a warning was made that if unemployment were extended, it would be impossible to see no consequences, which was interpreted as a threat, so the young people decided to end the negotiation and keep the school unplanned, as it has been since November 19.
The School itself issued a statement underlining that the letter of non-retaliation and other commitments would be signed until the delivery of facilities, “without that implying that UNAM should desist from the complaint filed by the destructions to the campus”.
While Philosophy and Letters has been the longest-running, from November 4, and the next dialogue table is scheduled until next week, January 15 at 10 a.m., on a proposal from the educational authorities.
Since 21 November, the principal submitted a response to the student request specification, who considered it insufficient because of commitments that could not be fulfilled without the participation of Rector, such as the approval of gender-specific subjects to be taught in careers. And yet, according to one student, there was no progress throughout the holiday period, until the recent proposal for a new dialogue.
