The rector of the Austral University of Chile (UACh) confirmed on Thursday that the institution has launched two distinct investigations into the reported assault against Lincolao. The university administration is currently evaluating potential disciplinary sanctions following the incident.
University officials stated that the dual-track inquiry aims to address both the institutional responsibilities and the specific circumstances surrounding the violence. The rector emphasized that the university is committed to gathering all relevant facts before determining the severity of the corrective measures.
University oversight and disciplinary process
While the university continues to collect evidence, authorities have stressed the importance of due process throughout the proceedings. The administration is reviewing internal security footage and witness accounts to establish a clear timeline of the events.
The university has not yet released a definitive date for the conclusion of these investigations. However, officials indicated that the findings will dictate whether internal disciplinary actions, including potential expulsions or suspensions, will be applied to those found responsible.
This case has drawn significant attention within the regional academic community in Los Ríos. The university has remained in contact with relevant stakeholders to ensure transparency as the inquiries progress.
Local authorities have reminded the public that the investigation is ongoing. As such, all parties involved are presumed innocent until a formal resolution is reached within the established legal and institutional frameworks.
