Student injured after falling from building at UASLP

A physiotherapy student at the Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí (UASLP) was injured after falling from a third floor of the Faculty of Medicine on Tuesday morning. Reports indicate the student fell onto a palm tree, which reportedly cushioned the impact.

The student was transported to an IMSS clinic for medical attention and is currently in the process of recovery. Ismael Herrera Benavente, the director of the Faculty of Medicine, met with the student's mother to provide support following the incident.

The university has activated internal security protocols and ordered an investigation to clarify the circumstances of the fall. This event follows previous incidents at the university, including a death at the Faculty of Engineering in September, leading to increased discussions regarding campus safety, psychological support, and infrastructure protocols.
