Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that Casa Tlalpan, a property formerly owned by Arturo Durazo Moreno, will become a new campus for the National Rosario Castellanos University. Durazo Moreno, known as El Negro, served as police chief of the former Federal District.
The president explained during her morning press conference that the property was partially recovered in the late 1990s and its pending legal issues were resolved through the Institute to Return Stolen Goods to the People.
“Gaby is the best mayor the borough has had, she has done extraordinary work.”
University rector Alma Xóchitl Herrera Márquez said the new academic unit will begin development in 2026 and be fully operational by 2027. The campus will initially offer five bachelor's degrees: Psychology, Law and Criminology, and Administration.
The site covers more than six hectares in the Ajusco area of southern Mexico City and includes various buildings for educational, cultural, and sports activities. Rector Herrera noted that 5,289 students living in Tlalpan currently must travel to other university campuses in boroughs such as Milpa Alta, Magdalena Contreras, Azcapotzalco, and Gustavo A. Madero.
