It is indeed a sad day. Today the TECNOLOGICO DE MONTERREY, the main campus in Monterrey, has a ceremony for two graduate students tragically killed by stray bullets on March 19, 2010. The two students are Javier Arredondo and Jorge Mercado. A Facebook site on their behalf has already generated close to 4,000 followers:

There are serious questions asked of the Mexican authorities on the site, including why they could not be identified as TEC students.
Today my heart is filled with sadness for the students that will no longer smell the arid, hot sun of Mexico, their families, friends, and colleagues that must endure terrible pain. YOU DO NOT WALK ALONE. This Political Science professor from TECNOLOGICO DE MONTERREY, CAMPUS QUERETARO, is with you. And so are millions around Mexico. Javier and Jorge, may your souls rest in peace.
