2010 UP Faculty Regent Selection

Posted on October 9, 2010

Last September 27, 2010, UP President Emerlinda R. Roman released a memo (no. PERR 10-015) informing the general faculty of the 2010 UP Faculty Regent Selection. UP Diliman Professor and incumbent Faculty Regent Judy Taguiwalo’s term ends this year. Based on the practice of rotation, it is a faculty from UPLB’s turn to become Faculty Regent. Regular faculty members (Instructors to Professors) all over the UP system are allowed to nominate and select their Faculty Regent.

Pres. Roman said in her memo that all the University Councils (UC) of the constituents units of UP approved the 2010 Faculty Regent Selection Process. However, members of the University Councils and members of the All UP Academic Employees Union (AUPAEU) belied such statement since the draft of the selection process was not discussed during UC meetings. On the contrary, the said draft was just presented as a matter of “information” and not as something to be discoursed. Among the issues raised about the railroaded selection process document are (1) the “no campaign” rule, (2) taking a leave-of-absence and resignation from a professional organization (such as the faculty union) if nominated/selected as Faculty Regent, and (3) the electronic system of voting (which hasn’t been tested yet).
