Professors at the Metropolitan University of Monterrey (UMM) would have gone up to two months without a payroll payment by April 15th, while the university's main argument is the lack of tuition payments from students. However, the default began in August 2025, when some bi-weekly payments started to be spread out to different dates within the same month. Some have been from two to four years without receiving their degree certificates. This has also worsened for the UMM, as some recent graduates have begun to file lawsuits over the delay in issuing diplomas, referencing graduates who have gone years without a response from the university. The institution is also accused of administrative delays in issuing diplomas. From the campus, they told LPO that the failure to pay salaries in the final stretch of the school period known as the tetramester has become a regularity at the university. Just as at the end of 2025, the Metropolitan University of Monterrey (UMM) of businessman Alfonso Romo is facing a crisis with payroll payments to teachers, owing nearly two months of salary to hundreds of teachers. In December, the situation began to get complicated: they owed up to three bi-weekly salaries, which were paid almost until January. In addition to the problem with teacher payments, they also maintain broad administrative conflicts for the issuance of diplomas to their graduating students. Romo was at the center of all the spotlights last year when the Treasury Department accused Vector of alleged money laundering. Romo, in addition, does not have direct access to Claudia Sheinbaum and has shown, in private, discontent with the attitude of the ruling party after the Treasury's blow: the businessman says that no one from Morena came out in his defense. Currently, hundreds of teachers are privately complaining about the lack of payment since the second half of February.
