Administrators started returning to the National Autonomous University of Mexico, the nation’s largest, two days after a police raid ended a nine-month occupation by striking students. The federal attorney general’s office announced that 579 of the adults arrested Sunday had been freed, though some might face other charges. Seventy-seven minors were turned over to the juvenile court system. Still in jail were 89 strike leaders and supporters, mostly on charges of seizing public buildings or theft.
