In the months before the crime, came from various student movements demanding that the State College was transformed into an autonomous university, also demanded an increase the government subsidy to the campus and dismissal of the rector, who had been issued by the Governor . With students, was popular mining organizations expressed opposition to despotism and corruption of government, among those groups, the rural nature led by the famous Genaro Vazquez, who eventually went to radicalize their struggle and become a guerrilla. State authority, headed by Raúl Caballero Aburto, a general who graduated from the Escuela Superior de Guerra, responded with a heavy hand to popular demands, which, in the specific case of students, led to harden its position, to convene the strike and took to the facilities of his alma mater. The army, on orders from the state administration, was sent to the institution to besiege it. In the month of October.

The student rebellion, official repression ... flared Guerrero's feelings, so they were born and revived popular reactions others before allayed. The group claims weight was just lifted like solution state powers. On 10 November the case a sum of forces that led to the creation of the Coalition of Popular Organizations (COP), whose list of demands includes, in addition to the above disappearance of powers, the prosecution of Caballero Aburto and the banning of large estates . On the anniversary of the revolution, tens of thousands of people (perhaps 10 000 and ran the newspaper La Prensa [3]) is gathered to show their support for the newly established People's Association [4].

Less than a week consummated the crime, the Senate exercised one of its highest authority and ordered the termination of the powers of the state of Guerrero and appointed the interim. The new administration, Arturo Martínez Adame at the forefront, made specific actions to ease tensions in the state, the key was the release of students and other civilians caught in the assault. To the same effect compromise and allowed ousted president la formación de un consejo que, a la postre, daría los primeros pasos en pos de la cimentación de la que, años adelante, sería la Universidad Autónoma de Guerrero.

A casi 50 años de la matanza, la UAG, aunque autónoma de nombre, padece de intromisiones políticas [6] al igual que muchas de sus hermanas en los diferentes estados, a pesar de que, por ley, debieran ser impermeables a las mareas políticas. Ello afecta la educación de millones de estudiantes quienes son, por antonomasia, el «futuro de México».
