On 15 January the student community submitted a statement of petition to the CCH authorities, which was turned over to the Rector’s Office of UNAM, and whose main axes were the clarification of the facts, the restructuring of the medical nursing service and the budgetary transparency for that area.
On Tuesday the students convened an assembly inside the institution to review the progress regarding its request specification and then march to the central esplanade of Ciudad Universitaria where they hope to be received by the staff of the General Rectory.
