ACADEMIC MATTERS

B.S. Computer Science Program in UP ManilaThe Board approved the institution of a B.S. Computer

Science Program in the College of Arts and Sciences, UPManila, which -was approved by the UP Manila UniversityCouncil at its special meeting on February 23, 1996. It isadopted from the as Computer Science program of UP LosBanos with slight revisions. The program will provide soundtechnical background and experience in real systems thatwill enable students to handle the most demanding aspectsof systems development, data management, and scientificcomputing. It will emphasize the strength of technicalpreparation with the aim of producing graduates who arehighly capable of working in the computer industry and whoare interested in pursuing graduate Studies in computerscience.

This program will be the second in the network of computerscience programs being organized by the UPLB Institute ofComputer Science under the System College Concept. Similarprograms are being planned for UP Baguio, UP Iloilo and UPTacloban.

Rationale: UP Manila is a campus for medical andhealth-related professions. Computer science plays animportant role in the Industry.

as well as cellular processes that are controlled by geneticinformation. At present, while several colleges and universitiesoffer degree programs in computer science, in most instances,the students are merely trained in computer applications fallingshort of the demands of the workplace. Of about 200institutions offering degree programs in computer science,Jess than 10 are up to the standards of a degree program incomputer science. Realizing the shortage of highly skilledcomputer science professionals in both the industry and healthinstitutions, the institution of a BS Computer Science programin CAS, UP Manila is being established. .

ricular matters as follows:a. The institution, merger, or abolition of degree pro

grams shall be subject to approval by the Board.b. All curricular proposals recommended by the Univer-

sity Council other than those specified In 9 above shall besubject to approval by the President (e.g., renaminq of de-gree program; institution, revision, renaming, abolition ofareas of concern and courses; admissions requirements,prerequisites; revision of course titles, descriptions, num- •bering; revision of total number of courses or units required;change in number of units of individual courses; etc.]

Delegation of AuthorityThe Board delegated authority to the President to ap

prove the following matters:

a. redeployment of items from one college/office/unit toanother within an autonomous university

b. modification of items

provided, that such changes shall be funded out of the allotment for permanent items or a lump sum amount provided for the purpose in the internal operating budget ofthe autonomous university approved by the Board of Regents.

UP Open UniversityThe Board amended Sections 7 and 10 of the resolution

adopted at the 1094th meeting of the Board on 23 February1995 establishing the UP Open University as an autonomousuniversity of the UP System.

•

FromSection 7. The Faculty of the UP Open University.

The faculty of the UP Open University shall refer to thestaff teaching tertiary academic courses offered by distance education. Faculty members of the UP Open University shall be those with full-time appointments fromthe UP Open University and those from other units of theUP System who shall be given Affiliate appointments.Appointment as Affiliate faculty shall be based on thesatisfaction of at least one of the following conditions:

a. Teaching at least one distance education course,and

b. Membership in guidance advisory committee of agraduate student at the UP Open University.

To"Section 7. The Faculty of the Open University.

Faculty members of the.UP Open University shall be thosewith full-time appointments from the UP Open Universityand those from other units of the UP System who shallbe given Affiliate appointments. The basic appointmentas UPOU Affiliate faculty shall be for the purpose ofdesignating faculty of the other AUs who are involved inthe teaching and/or the planning, development andimplementation of programs of the UPOU. Recognizedexperts not employed by the University who are willingto devote part of their time to the activities of the UPOpen University may be given appointments as adjunctfaculty without compensation. '.

Rationale: This recognizes other ways than teaching, inwhich faculty of other AUs may be involved in UPOUactivities: ex. as writer, or reader, or editor, ormediaspecialist,or instructional designer of course materials. Theirinvolvement will start prior to the offering of the courses.

From:Section 10. The Executive Committee of the

University Council. There shall be an Executive Committeeof the University Council with the Chancellor as Chairand the following as members: The Vice-Chancellors ofthe UP Open University, the Dean of the School forDistance Education, the Deans of the Schools for DistanceEducation in the autonomous universities, and one facultymember from each autonomousuniversityelected by andfrom among the faculty members of the autonomousuniversities who are members of the UPDU Universitycouncil.

To:"Section 10. The Executive Committee of the

University Council... There shall be an Executive Committeeof the University Council with the Chancellor as Chair,the University Registrar as Member-Secretary and thefollowing as members: the Vice Chancellors of the UPOpen University, the Directors of the UPOU Universitylevel offices who have faculty appointments, the Deansof the Schools for Distance Education in the autonomousuniversities, and one faculty member from eachautonomous university elected for a term of one yearwithout prejudice to re-election for another year by andfrom among the faculty members of the autonomousuniversities who are members of the UPOU UniversityCouncil."

Rationale: This will increase the membership of theExecutive Committee to include in particular those in chargeof course development (Director, Office of Academic Servicesand Instructional Support) and student support (Director,Office of Student Administration) which are important

academic concerns of the UP Open University. The provisionon the term of office of those elected at-large is to makeclear the intended term of office which is a maximum of twoconsecutive years. This follows the practice in other AUs ofthe System.

Organization of UP Open UniversityConsistent with its resolution adopted at its 10B4th

meeting on 23 February 1995, the Board created the followingsupport offices in the UP Open University under the directsupervision and control of the Office of the Vice-Chancellorfor Academic Affairs:

1. Office of Academic Services and InstructionalSupport, 10 be headed by a Director; and

2. library Services, to be headed by a Librarian.The pivotal unit in the Office of the Vice-Chancellor for

Academic Affairs is the Office of Academic Services andInstructional Support (OASIS). which trains course writers,instructional designers, and encoders in the technical aspectsof course development. The OASIS is also linked up with acircle of writers, readers, instructional designers, and editorsto assure quality of output.

The need for library materials in the learning centers hasbeen broached by students in a recent ERP evaluationresearch. The UPOU has also identified a need for librarymaterials for course development and the OU offices havebeen collecting materials on distance education and othersubjects. The OVCAA will therefore start a central library,which will take charge of providing materials to the learningcenters.

The Board further created the following support offices tobe placed under the direct supervision and control of theOffice of the Vice-Chancellor for Student Support Services:

1. Office of the Registrar, to be headed by a Registrar;and

2. Office of Student Administration, to be headed bya Director.

Through the Office of the Registrar and the Office ofStudent Administration, the Office of the Vice-Chancellorfor Student Support Services will coordinate the registrationof students and the delivery of learning packages to themfor instruction by distance mode. It will operate the learningcenters with a system of tutorials and counselling, and asystem of assessment of the students through assignmentsand examinations. It will conduct training programs for thelearning center coordinators and the tutors, and orientationsessions for the distance learners. It will establish linkageswith institutions/officials in and around the learning centerswith the goal of broadening access to quality UP education.

Guidelines on Promotion of Faculty and REPSThe Board also amended the additional guidelines (which

were approved at the 1090th meeting on 28 September1995)' followed by the System Committee in processingrecommendations for the promotion of faculty and REPS, asfollows (bracketed word to be deleted, underscored(capitalized) portions to be added):

•Additional Guidelines to be followed by the SystemCommittee in processing recommendations for the promotion of faculty members and REPS:1. Faculty members who are on study leave with pay,

FINANCIAL MATTERS

The Board approved programming/reprogramming ofunappropriated funds/income in the different AUs, as foHows:

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science Program, UP VisayasThe Board approved the institution of a Bachelor of Science

in Computer Science Program at the College of Arts andSciences, and at UP Cebu College, UPV, as passed upon bythe UPV University Council on 9 December '1995.

Rationale: The degree program will serve as the primaryarm of the University in information technology research anddevelopment.

Graduation Of StudentsThe Board confirmed the graduation of students for various

degrees from the different schools and colleges of UP Dilimanand UP Manila, who have satisfied all the requirements forgraduation as of the end of the Second Semester 1995

1996.

Master of Management Program. UP VisayasThe Board approved the revision of the Master of

Management Program in the College of Management, UPVisayas, as passed upon by the UP Visayas University Councilon 9 December 1995.

199 should be for research. In this connection, UPV willrevise the course descriptions.

Rationale: The three units of UP Visayas, viz. the Divisionof Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, Miaqao, Iloilo, UP Cebu College, and UP Tacloban College willoffer unified courses in their B.S. Biology programs. Thiswill enable the three units to pool faculty expertise andmaximize resources and help promote the UP standards ofexcellence. Such a unified program would allow each unitto develop expertise in all specializations independently.

The features of this revision are a stronger foundation inbasic biology core courses as well as the offering of fivefields of specialization, namely, Botany, Zoology, MarineBiology, Microbiology and Environmental Biology. The revisedcurriculum is expected to produce B.S. Biology graduateswith a sound foundation in biology and with a certain degreeof expertise in specific fields of biology, in response to theregional and national needs. The present clientele of theexisting B.S. Biology program in the three units consistsmostly of those who will later proceed to medicine. Withthe trend towards industrialization and global competitivenessin the Philippines and the Asia-Pacific region, there is anincreasing demand for scientists and technologists that UPmust address.

Special Science Program for UP High School in IloiloThe Board also approved the institution of the Special

Science Program for the UP Hiqh School in Iloilo.This will conform with the government's requirement of

having a Science and Technology section per year level.The special science program will be a four-year course offeredto qualified high school students with special interests inscience and mathematics. The program is intended for onesection of 40 students. After having qualified for admissionto UPHS in Iloilo, these students will be given a ScienceAptitude Test to determine who will compose the 5 & T

section.

Historical Papers

WELCOME REMARKS

Delivered by UP President ~mH Q. Javier during the opening of theSECOND NATIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION CONGRESS

May t3,1996, UP Oiliman , Q. C.

This year, the Filipino nation celebrates the centennial ofthe Philippine Revolution, and in 1998 that of our Republic.In four years, we shalf enter the 21 st Century, the essentialfeatures of which, are already upon us. The significance ofthis historic confluence of event.s is clear: the birth andsurvival of our Republic - the first in Asia - after years ofstruggle against a colonial master is an enduring testimonyof the vision, sense of purpose, and moral courage of ourfounding fathers to proclaim our identity and chart our owncourse as a people.

As we enter the 21st Century, we are again called uponto manifest and abide bv these attributes of nationalism,

nity of purpose, and moral courage as we assert ourselvesas a people in the face of the profound challeoges beingposed by a new global order. As worthy heirs of Asia's firstRevolution, we the sons and daughters of the Filipino nation- mga Anak ng Bayan - can do no less.

The emergence of a borderless global communitycharacterized by the freer flow of information, technology,goods, capital, and ultimately of people, will no doubtcontribute to the development and acceptance of a commonperspective on humankind's aspirations for justice,democracy, human rights, and the upliftment of the qualityof life of peoples. To do this we must first insure thesustainability of life itself on our planet by increasing globalawareness for protection and nurturance of our naturalenvironment.

At the same time, in the emerging regime of opennessand competition, nationalism remains a relevant thn..:st, infact an imperative. Even as we must compete globally in a~orderless economy by capturing niches where ourcompetitive advantage lies, we must quickly address theneeds of the majority of our countrymen who are poor throughsustained development of our agricultural and industrialsectors, as well as substantive, redistribution of economicopportunity and wealth. We must remain rooted to the bestof our culture and traditions, while providing the necessaryclimate and the social and physical infrastructure that willstanch the out-migration of our human resources, and at thesame time attract productive resources to relocate withinour shores for our own growth and development.

The imperative of sustainable development for the benefitof our people in the face of global competition is indeedformidable, since this requires that we surmount the inertiaof three centuries of underdeveiopment. Yet, difficult as itis, we must prove equal to this challenge if we are ~o kee~

faith with the vision of our founding fathers who In their

time dared to dream of a just and prosperous nation forthemselves and the gener"tions after them.

'Ne, in the higher education sector, are heirs to thistradition, and are now being called upon to contributesubstantially and immediateiy to rapid and sustainable growthand development. We are being counted upon to rethinkand re-focus the goals and processes of human resourcedevelopment, namely: to educate Filipinos who are imbuedwith the imagination, critical faculties, and professionalcompetence to grapple with current and future demands whileremaining rooted to the nation and to its cultural andhumanistic traditions. In the next few days, we shall discusshow the tertiary education sector under the leadership ofthe Commission on Higher Education can marshall itsresources for carrying out instruction, research, extensionand public service as its singular contribution to nationbuildinq.

Last week, at its annual Faculty Conference, the Universityof the Philippines renewed its commitment to abide by itsmandate as the national university of the land, by placingthe resources at its command in the service of the nation.We defined UP's general strategy of growth in terms ofexpanding its capacity to serve the key players in thecountry's educational system, strengthening its capabilitiesto deepen the generation of knowledge in the disciplines,and broadening its reach in educating our country's futuregeneration of leaders and professionals.

Yet, having thus defined our role, we remain mindful ofthe fact that our contribution to higher education must alwaysbe made in the spirit of cooperation and in support of thecollective efforts of our counterparts in the higher education

Isector. The chalienge and specific tasks of human resourcedevelopment, generation of new knowledge, keeping abreast

I of global developments in science and technology, advocacyand social criticism are of such magnitude and complexitythat it requires the application of the collective resourcesand best efforts of the higher education sector, as a whole.

It is in this spirit of humility and objective necessity thatwe in the University of the Philippines welcome you all toour campus for this Congress, even as we look forward toworking with you in expanding our efforts to prepare ourpeople to enter the second century of our life as a republicannation in a world community where peace, mutual respect,and human decency abide.

Thank you and our warmest welcome once again to eachand everyone.

FATHOMING FACULTY AUTONOMY

(Remarks by Regent Oscar M. Alfonso at the UP Faculty Conference on 'UP Plan 2008",held at Club John Hay Mountain Breeze Hall, Baguio City, 8 May 1996)

The cherished opportunity to speak to a distinguished andlarge assembly of the faculty of the entire UP System, suchas this one, is getting to be few and far between for me. Ihope therefore to put the opportunity to good use.

Ours is not a win-win situation for anyone in the University, administratively speaking. Among us, no one can beabsolutist in the use of power. And'nobody in our ranksaccepts to be minimalist in the possession of authority. Absolute power, or even near-absolute 'power attaches to noone in the University'. Not the Board of Regents, not thePresident, not any Chancellor, Dean, or department chair,not the faculty. On the other hand, no one will say he or shehas enough power, and enough is enough. No one is absolutist, nobody is minimalist.

Few perhaps among us are conscious, and fewer still actfrom this consciousness, that the administration of the University has become a common enterprise and responsibility,where power or authority is conjointly and severally sharedamong and exercised by the various layers of the University'sadministrative structure.

This is no historical accident. What is historical about it isthe long progression from concentration of power at the topto its dispersal below, the evolution from giving orders fromabove, to framing and sifting and otherwise democratizingthem, below and upward. This has been a peaceful processin the main, although trying if not vexing at times.

The progression initially was a function of the UniversityCharter, which clearly delineated the respective powers ofthe Board of Regents and the University Council. For example, with all the power vested in the Board, it is, however,the Council that fixes the requirements for admission to anycollege, as well as for the graduation and the receiving of adegree.

Over many years, with the resolute and reasoned importuning by the faculty on one hand, and the Board's understanding of the imperatives of the times, on the other hand,there has been a considerable shift in the focus of power.This started with President Lopez. President Corpuz advancedit.

So now, notwithstanding that the UP Charter declares thatthe administration of "the University and the exercise of itscorporate powers are hereby vested exclusively in the Boardof Regents and the President of the University in so far asauthorized by said Board," there has been much delegationof power also from the Board to the Chancellors and theDeans.

The Board approves major appointments, but no longerenjoys this power exclusively as if in a vacuum. You don't

hear of the Board of Regents appointing a Chancellor or aDean nang walang kaabog-abog- that is to say, bereft ofthe views and the expression of preferences of the facultyconcerned. No longer does the Board appoint instructorsand assistant professors. This has been delegated. The Boardwould never hear the end of it from the faculty if the Boardapproved a curricular program entirely, sight unseen by theUniversity Council.

It is not only the Board's power of appointment that hasbeen shared. So likewise, the exclusive prerogative of thePresident to recommend appointments by the Board. Thishas been shared with the faculty, in earlier times throughprocedures bordering upon or almost tantamount to election, and now during President Javier's tenure, by means 0

orderly, effective, and conscientious search committees.As I had occasion to point out in a recent paper, to a

large extent many matters approved by the Board of Regents had already been, in effect, "decided" at lower levels,through studies, consultations, and consensus on appointments, promotions, curricular proposals, etc.

Let no one be deluded, however, that the Board and thePresident have rendered themselves supine. While sharingsome powers they do not abdicate them. While sharingresponsibility they do not shirk it. On occasion they exercise power when constrained to such exercise by sheer necessity.

If there is today no totally authoritarian government anywhere, is there a completely democratic society somewhere?

It is my guess, an educated guess perhaps, given thesuccessful outcomes of peaceful and well-reasoned andtherefore persuasive petitions in the past from the facultyfor more sharing by the Board, that the Board shall also beminded henceforth to be as understanding and receptive a'before. So also shall the President be likely attentive to thefaculty'S forthright and reasoned response to his invitationfor them to speak out at this conference on "UP Plan 2008."

Regents, Presidents, and Chancellors come and go, butthe faculty remain. Acting creatively, responsibly, andcommittedly, the faculty are, or ought to be, the chief arbiter of the University's fate and of their advancement withthat of the University. This crucial role of chief arbiter in theUniversity's affairs, the faculty would be slavish to relinquish by non-use, foolish to allow to diminish, stylish andwise to use to the full so there is much they accomplish ...for the University as for themselves.

Memorandum No. 96-86: Information Drive to Increase Employees' Membership in the UP Provident Fund

The UP Provident Fund was created by the Board ofRegents to provide additional retirement benefits for ouremployees. It will also be through the Fund that othersubstantial employee benefits will be set up later.

However, to be able to start operations and to avail"of taxexemption benefits, we are required to show that at least70% of all our employees are registered members.

To date, we have not yet reached this number. In UPDiliman alone, only 2,21 B of the more than 4,000 employeesare registered members.

You are hereby directed to coordinate all AU efforts andconduct further campaigns to encourage employeemembership in the Fund. We have to register our Fund soon,so that we can maximize the income potentials of our funds.

Memorandum No. 96-87: Inclusion of Social Scientists InThe Scientific Career System

Dr. Cynthia Rose BautistaDr. Ledivina V. CarillaDr. Ma. Cecilia ConacoDr. Emmanuel de DiosDr. Maria Luisa DoronilaDr. Raul Fabella

As you may know, when I introduced the Scientific Career System (SCSI in 1983 as a means by which practisingscientists can rise in the civil service, my original proposalcontemplated the inclusion of social scientists into the svstern. For various reasons, that was not possible at that time.

There is now a more hospitable climate for the longoverdue recognition of social scientists in the SCS. I amtherefore reviving that proposal and requesting you, as socialscientists in the University who have been honored by the

Department of Science and Technology in various ways, toconstitute yourselves into a committee, with Dr. Bautista aschair, to determine the fields of social science which shouldbe recommended for inclusion in the SCS. Please take specialcare in setting guidelines or criteria to distinguish governmentpersonnel who are practising their respective professions inthe bureaucracy (e.g., in social work, education, publicadministration, mass communications. etc.). This distinctionhas been a principal bone of contention in the inclusion ofsocial scientists in the SCS. Please submit your report inresolution form which can be endorsed to the ScientificCareer Council for its consideration no later than Wednesday,14 August' 996.

Thank you.30 July 1996

Master of Science in Public HealthThe Board approved institution of the Master of Science

in Public Health {Environmental Healthl in the College of PublicHealth, UP Manila.

Justification: The College of Public Health has beendesignated by the SEAMEO-TROPMED as the Regional Centerfor Public Health (specifically in the areas of Occupationaland Environmental Health, Hospital Administration andNutrition) and as such must respond to the training needs ofmember countries in the region.

In the Philippines. based on the workshops conducted bythe Interagency Committee on Environmental Health (IACEHI,a need for postgraduate training and capability building inenvironmental health has been identified. The technical staffof government and non-governmental organizations, (e.g.Health, Energy, Agriculture, Transport and Industry Sectors)which plan, and implement environmental and healthprograms/projects feel that they are inadequately equippedin terms of skill and knowledge to address the vital linkbetween health-environment and development.

Graduates of the MSPH (Environmental Health) degreeare expected to strengthen their agencies' programs onenvironmental health through improved skills that will enablethem to undertake investigations in environmental health.

The program will be governed by the policy adopted atthe Board's 997th meeting on March 24, 1987, that"academic programs shall be subject to automatic reviewafter three years".

Merging of Academic Departments (CVM, UPlB)The Board approved the merging of academic departments

in the College of Veterinary Medicine, UP Los Banos, therebyreducing the number of departments from six to three, asfollows:

The program will provide students with a choice ofelectives and specialization courses in one or more of thefollowing fields: (a) power engineering, (bl electronicengineering and (c) computer engineering.

Program Design: The curriculum will have a researchcomponent through the conduct of an undergraduate thesisas a specialization course. Those who elect an undergraduatethesis will have an edge over graduates of other universities.Those who will opt to take the practicum course will haveon-the-job training before their graduation. Moreover, thegraduates of this program will have an advantage overgraduates from other universities as training in instrumentationwork is a built-in component of the curriculum. The curriculumwill include more hands-on activities which will developcreativity and resourcetulness among the students. Thisfeature of the program will develop the interest of studentsin entrepreneurship.

Justification: Electrical engineering is concerned with theconversion of energy from other forms into electrical energy,with the transmission and distribution of the energy inelectrical form, and with it's control and reconversion forultimate utilization. Electrical engineering is a broad and activefield, sharing common boundaries and which interfaces withother disciplines such as physics, chemistry, medicine, theother engineering disciplines, etc. Among the major fields ofelectrical engineering are: fa) power enqineerinq. (b) electronicengineering, (c) computer engineering, (d) communicationsengineering, and (e) instrumentation engineering. Electricalengineers are always in demand for their knowledge and skillsin designing and fabricating innovative and useful products.

To be an electrical engineer is to be in one of the mostexciting and fastest moving of all technologies. Newapplications and discoveries follow each other almost dailybut must necessarily be absorbed and put in perspective bythe engineer. To do this, one is required to have a soundknowledge of electrical science and physics, muchmathematics, and a training in proven methods of turningnew facts and laws into data from which new devices orsystems can be developed.

In six years' time, we will reach the year two thousandand one and officially enter the twenty-first century. As thelast UP President to serve in the current century, the task ofpreparing the University for the new millennium falls squarelyon my administration. However, we are not just getting readytor this confrontation with the future for I am also fortunatethat I will be at the helm when the Philippines celebrates itscentennial as a nation. In a sense then the challenge facingme - and you, as alumni, faculty, and students of the UPand thus as leaders fully committed to this nation - is tobridge three centuries: the nineteenth, by completing themission of the Philippine Revolution; the twenty-first, by ridingcompetently on the three technological waves that await usthere; and what remains of the twentieth, by helping ourpeople, here and now, to recapture that sense of purposethat made us the first new nation of Asia in 1898, and thatwill make us a force to reckon with a few short decades fromtoday, fulfilling the dream of Philippines 2000.

In pursuit of this vision for UP we will navigate betweenthe demands of nationalism and globalization, the two competing forces that for John Naisbitt constitute the global paradox. If we are transfixed towards national rootedness, weshall in no time be rudely jolted by the reality that globalprogress and competition will not wait for us. If on the otherhand, we succumb completely to the siren call of technological leapfrogging, we will tear the nation apart as we leavethe majority of Filipinos behind. Thus, we cannot choose oneor the other. As the national university of this country, wemust grow both our roots and our wings.

Developing Our Wings

With our wings, we are resolutely and imaginatively inventing our future. Without reiinquishing our primacy in thesocial sciences, the humanities, and the professions, UP isstrengthening its programs in science and technoloqv. ThisJune, we doubled student admissions in engineering in preparation for a world-class Graduate School of Engineering inthe Diliman campus. late last year, we formalized a nationalnetwork of institutes for molecular biology and biotechnology in our four major campuses. We are developing plans forthe National Institutes of Health in UP Manila. We have justinaugurated science and technology parks in Diliman, LosBanos, and Iloilo which, in cooperation with the Departmentof Science and Technology and the private sector, will beincubators for new industries.

The Philippines must master the use of Third Wave technologies. However, the sectors that they will affect initiallyare relatively small and will keep most of our population inthe margins of development for some time to come. Thus,we must continue to extend to our farmers and fishers efficient and environment friendly production systems and appropriate technology which take their culture and basic needsinto account.

In order to modernize more rapidly, we need to developour capacity for reverse engineering and technological adaptation. Since the University has most of the Filipino PhDsand active researchers in any field, the challenges of forging

the intricate combination of these technological waves is inour hands.

Major problems of the future would require a critical massof research and development effort sustained over long periods of time. Thus in addition to individual research, wehave organized groups of like-minded faculties intomultidisciplir.ary teams, dealing with topics such asbiodiversity, conservation, management of water resources,Mt. Pinatubo rehabilitation, urbanization, educational policy,peace and conflict resolution, and regional studies. Thesegroups are expected to render periodic state-of-the-nationreports on these concerns, recommend policies, and articulate options.

The University is not about to give up our competitiveedge with our proficiency in English. We are developing astronger program on English for global competitiveness. Athe same time, we are launching a massive effort to intellectualize and modernize Filipino and to write textbooks inthe national language for high school and undergraduateinstruction. In addition, we are developing mathematics asthe third leg in our tri-language program in the UP System.We need numerical literacy and proficiency to feel at homein the twenty-first century world of engineering and technology.

With the same wings, we have determined that UP willgrow as the nation grows. In two to three decades, ourcampuses in Los Banos, Manila, and Baguio, and the Visayas,will be comprehensive universities like Diliman. Agricultureand fisheries will continue to be important economic sectors in the twenty-first century. However, their relative valuewill progressively diminish vis-a -vis industry and services.Thus, los Banos, and Visayas must spread their winqs andventure into engineering, the basic sciences, and management sciences as they have started to do so even now.

In any case, each of the regions where our campuses arelocated would require topnotch instruction in science, theprofessions, and the humanities. We expect our campusesto be the most comprehensive tertiary institutions in all thegrowth points of the country. This is our rationale for establishing UP in Mindanao, an autonomous campus that cameinto being with the unrelenting efforts of our alumni in thatregion. We are positioning UP Mindanao to be the leadacademic institution not only for Mindanao but also for theemerging East Asian Growth Area (EAGA). With this comprehensiveness and expansion goes our pledge to maintainthe high quality of our ongoing, pioneering, and new programs.

February this year was an auspicious month for UP. Inthe same week that President Fidel V. Ramos signed the UPin Mindanao bill into law IRA 7889), the Board of Regentscreated the UP Open University. This university withoutwalls will use the wonders of telecommunications to bringUP education to every corner of this archipelago. Distanceeducation will first use print and radio, and later, television,satellites, and other multi-media technologies.

We are unquestionably at the apex of our educationalsystem. However, we intend to be its base as well by:developing model undergraduate programs; pioneering in

graduate education and research; undertaking supportive institutional, curricular, and policy research for the basis, vocational, and adult education; and by developing instructional materials and training faculty and academic administrators.

Strengthening Our Roots

What about our roots? To commemorate.one hundredyears of Filipino nationhood, UP will publish a hundred scholarly and creative works. We have already received President 0.0. Corpuz's monumental economic history of thePhilippines to launch the project which we call SandaangTeon, Sandaang Akda. No other institution can make thisunique offering to the people.

Ourreverence for ourroots also compels usto makestrongefforts to make UP a value-centered University. The firstFaculty Conference in six years focused on this subject. Philippine society cries out for moral leaders who will sp-earheadour transformation from a nation of poverty, inequity, andpurposelessness to a confident, self-reliant, prosperous, andjust society. UP itself, has been beset by too many valueproblems - sexual harassment, fraternity violence, intellectual dishonesty. We cannot let UP and the nation wallow inmoral doldrums. We must move to recapture and substaniate the sense of purpose of the nation and the University.

Toward this end, we are now engaged in the creativeinfusion of ethics and values into the curriculum. We wantto make General Education - the hallmark of UP education- become more edifying and inspiring. As a strong academic institution, we also want to make sure that we showour caring and nurturance of students along with out desirethat they meet our standards of academic excellence.

But we are strengthening our roots in other ways as well.Three weeks ago, I went to a resettlement site in the Mt.Pinatubo area to witness the end of one year at service ofMyra Singian, the first full-time volunteer of UP's Uganayanng Pahinungod or Oblation Corps. Myra had initiated a nonformal education class for twenty young Aytas who, withtheir parents, received a certificate of completion and a giftthe Pahinungods there made with their own hands. No eyewas dry when Myra formally said good-bye. It meant somuch to this community that this young lady from UP, whohad her pick of jobs from the biggest establishments inMakati, would give one year of her life to live with them.

Ten other fresh graduates are serving on a full-time basisin six other communities. Forty more have given up a yearof weekends to be among abused women and children,handle pre-school classes, or help local governments modernize their operations. A hundred give tutorials to Manilainner-city public school pupiis in their free time during thesemester. Almost two hundred spent their summer vacation to undertake affirmative action to help underprivilegedbut bright young people in the provinces to qualify for admission to UP or to do community work. in depressedbarangays. Hundreds of doctors and other medical profes-

sionals - some of them alumni based in the USA - havegone on over thirty medical and surgical missions in the lasttwelve months. Alumni in Davao have enlisted aspahinungods and are spreading the latest of banana technology to enable smail farmers to become exporters. Thereare so many more who have heard our call. After only oneyear of the lIganayan ng Pahinungod, UP volunteers havealready served from Batanes to Sulu.

You will recall that last year, the theme of the GeneralAlumni Homecoming was Uganayan ng Pahinungod,Pambansang Paglilingkod. Your resolutions sparked the interest, commitment, and action of so many alumni all overthe country. This gilt of their time and presence manifeststheir rootedness to our country. But the use of their talentand expertise in service exemplifies how we can spread ourwings, and bring to many communities the unique combination of the skill, knowledge, and compassion that the University can offer. Moreover, we are sure the experience willorient the lives of every pahinungod and the people aroundthem. Thus, their individual service will grow into our collective commitment to face and to resolve the nagging issues of poverty, alienation, and misery that still stalk ourland.

In doing all this, we need to make sure that our facultyand staff share our excitement and commitment, and therefore we are recasting the incentive structure to keep themhappy in UP. Last year, UP was the only government agencyto give merit promotions. We pledge to give such promotions every year. We have established a Provident Fund forour faculty and staff. We are enhancing the system of professorial chairs, the incentives for housing as well as healthcare benefits. We are also negotiating a new salary scheme.And since all these need money, we are going to create aUP Development Corporation for the more efficienthusbanding of our land grants and intellectual properties.We need to move towards greater financial autonomy sothat we can meet our commitment to the Filipino nation.

Concluding Remarks

As you can see, we are working very hard on many frontsso that the last years of the twentieth century can becomedecisive moments for our country and the University's history. Our winged :Iight to the twenty-first century will bepropelled by the initiative that we have helped to set inmotion by our basic and applied research in science andtechnology, the social sciences, the arts, and the professions. Getting there we shall proudly be rooted in our identification as Filipinos. And through the twenty-first century, the University of the Philippines shall continue to bethe premier university "Of the country, proficient in the languages of the soul and the mind, caring and competent,always ready to give ourselves in the service of the nation.

ANNEX AGUIDELINES FOR 1996 FACULTY PROMOTIONS

The following general guidelines are hereby issued:

Faculty promotions shall be implemented by modifyingfaculty items. Thus, items of faculty being promoted shallbe modified' upwards. This modification shall be subject toBOR approval and reporting to the Department of Budgetand Management (DBM) to support our request for fundrelease. The number of faculty members in each AU whocan be promoted will depend on the faculty promotionsbudget of each AU.

Each AU may decide on the manner of allocating itspromotions budget. It may centralize it under a responsibleAU official or sub-allot it to its colleges/units using areasonable formula. In case the second option is chosenti.e., sub-allotment), actual faculty headcount and salariesin each collegeiunit should be factored into the formula tomake the distribution more equitable.

Specific guidelines to govern this round of facultypromotions are listed below:

1. Promotions shall be selective and based on merit. Itis understood that all recommendations shall be screenedthrough the usual hierarchy of academic personnel boards:department levellif any), collegeiunit level, and autonomousuniversity level except the following:

1.1 Recommendations for Associate Deans, departmentchairpersons, and directors of institutes/centers attached tocolleges shall be initiated by Deans. Funds for these shallcome from the collegeiunit promotions budget.

1.2 Recommendations for deans and faculty serving asdirectors of independent (principal} units las distinguishedfrom those attached to colleges or "sub-units") or as officersof autonomous university administration shall be decided bythe Chancellor (and the President where required). Theamount needed for these promotions shall not be taken fromthe collegeiunit promotions budgets (if any) but from the AUpromotions budget under the discretion of the Chancellor (orthe President where applicable).

1.3 Recommendations for Chancellors or faculty servingas officers/directors of System Administration shallbe decidedby the President. The amount needed for these promotionsshall be sourced from the President's funds.

1.4 The promotions of faculty administrators covered in1.2 and 1.3 above shall be decided by the Chancellor orPresident in consultation with the department chairpersonconcerned (if any) and deans of said faculty administratorsor officers of administration.

1 .5 Faculty on official special detail to other governmentagencies or instrumentalities or on official foreign assignmentwho are expected to return may be recommended forpromotion. This may be done to prepare the items only of

those faculty who, by the time they return, would have moreto offer the university by reason of their detail and who haveattained a certain stature befitting a higher rank than therank they had when they left. This promotion shall be subjectto the criteria approved by the Board of Regents, in Annex"A-I". (See below)

2. This is now the sixth straight year since January 1,1991 that faculty promotions have been authorized. To allowfor a greater number to enjoy this privilege, the followingshall be observed: counting from January t , 1994 andincluding the proposed promotion for 1996, no facultymember shall be promoted more than a total of seven 171faculty steps and, three 131 saiary grades. (Note: Promotionfrom Assistant Professor 1 to Assistant Professor 3 isconsidered a two-step-faculty promotion). It is being imposednot to discourage super-achievers but to acknowledge thebudget constraints prevailing at this time and allow a greaternumber to be promoted. This constraint may be waived bythe President/Chancellor for exceptionally meritorious caseswith the concurrence of the academic personnel committees.

3. In the case of Instructors who are being seriouslyconsidered for tenure' and have earned master's degrees asof the end of AY 1995-1996, departments, colleges, andAUs should take note that the rank of Assistant Professor 1is necessary (but not sufficient) for the grant of tenure. Thisdoes not mean, however, that all the aforementionedInstructors can be or should be promoted to AssistantProfessor 1 in one fell swoop this year. Still and all, the "upor out" rule must be considered when deciding promotionsfor faculty members in line for tenure.

Reminder: The grant of tenure is a separate decision frompromotion to the rank of Assistant Professor. Normally,promotion to the rank of Assistant Professor is proposedbefore tenure is recommended.

4. Points for faculty promotions are earned throughteaching, research, extension or community service work,and academic administration. By teaching, we usually meanthe quantity of teaching load (number of courses, sectionsand students), the quality of teaching (asmeasured by variousevaluation instruments or peer evaluation), the quality ofteaching materials that have been developed, awardsgarnered, etc.

As in previous years, in line with the emphasis on GeneralEducation, the arts and sciences departments are directedto put more explicit considerations for the teachers of GEcourses.

5. AUs shall not be allowed to abolish any vacant facultyitem for promotion purposes. Splitting of items shall not bealiawed either.

6. Faculty promotions shall be effective not earlier than 1November 1996. However, concerned officers are remindedthat the promotions budget is supposed to cover one-yearrequirements. This is imperative to assure continued andfull funding for subsequent years.

7. UP position titles (not SSL titles) shall be used.8. Faculty promotions within the same SSL grade (e.g.,

Professor 1 to Professor 2 both within grade 26) involvessalaryincreases through "horizontalsalary steps". Fordetails,please consult your HRDO.

9'. At the end of the screening process, but before themerit promotions are implemented, the Chancellors shallsubmit to the Office of the President, through theControllership and Budget Office (CBO), the list of all thoseto be promoted on or before 16 October 1996 for evaluationby the System PersonnelCommittees. The Chancellors shallcertify to the effect that the proposed promotions have been

REPS; his/her undergraduate degree could be in anotherfield.

Under the Salary Standardization Law, there are severaldifferences in the compensation schemes for faculty andREPS:

1. the lowest salary level for faculty is Grade 14 while thatof REPS is Grade 12.

2. the faculty grade levels are in multiples of one (1) whilethose of REPS are in multiples of two 12\. In fact, two(2) or three faculty ranks are lumped together underone 111 salary grade although these have been recentlyseparated by steps. Because of this, promotion stepsIgrade level wisel are bigger for REPS than for faculty.This appears to be off-set, however, by the more frequent promotions for faculty than for REPS.

3. the maximum salary level attainable in the REPS careeris Grade 24 while for the faculty itis Grade 29 (or evenGrade 30 for University Professor).

Because of the lower ceiling for REPS who have the sameeducational attainment as faculty there is a need to givethose REPS who are highly qualified, an opportunity to moveup by shifting them to the faculty as the need for theirservices arises in the appropriate department/college.

ANNEX A-2GUIDELINES ON SHIFTING REPS To FACULTY STATUS

Faculty and REPS usually start at the lowest level (Instructor1 and University Research Associate /) with a bachelor'sdegree. While, the area of specialization/major in the BS/BAdegree for an applicant to faculty must be in the disciplinehe/she is appointed to teach, this need not be the case for

Amendment of the additional guidelines approved at the1090th meeting on 26 September 1995 to be followed bythe System Committee in processing recommendations forthe promotion of faculty members and REPS.

1. Faculty members who are on study leave with payoron sabbaticals or on special detail with pay e.g. on facultyexchange, may be promoted based on their achievements/accomplishments before they went on study leave, onsabbatical or on special detail provided that suchachievements/ accomplishments were not covered by previouspromotions (in this case since 1991).

ANNEX BGUIDELINES FOR NON-TEACHING MERIT PROMOTION/INCREASE!

AWARD

As done in the previous years for non-teaching personnel,the following shall be given this year:

1. Mandated merit (step) increases under CSC-DBM JCNo. 90-1; and

2. Merit promotion.As in CY 1995, this year an employee may be given only

one of any of the two above listed benefits. No non-teachingstaff shall enjoy more than one benefit, i.e., one can receiveonly a merit promotion or only a merit (step) increase. Inaddition, one who cannot qualify in 1 or 2 above may berecommended for the "sag ad" award subject to the conditionsin 1.4 of the memorandum.

A. Mandated Merit Increase Under JC No. 90-1 - Thegeneral guidelines may be gleaned from the CSC-DBM JointCircular No. 90-1 and UP Memorandum No. 32 dated 30April 1992.

In previous years, merit increases granted under thiscircular were given only to non-teaching personnel based onperformance of the preceding year. The same shall be donethis year and the criterion shall be performance for the lasttwo rating periods in 1995 and the merit increase shall beeffective 1 January 1996.

Under JC No. 90-1, each AU may nominate at most 10%(ten percent) of all its regular plantilla personnel (teachingand non-teaching combined), to be allocated AU-wide.

Please consider also the following important points:1. An employee whose salary is at the maximum step can

no longer be given the increase under JC No. 90-1. Thisis a constraint under the circular and the SSL.

2. An employee given this increase in previous years mayreceive it again this year, if meritorious.

3. In processing recommendations, administrative and academic personnel boards should first decide on the JCmandated increase before the seasonalmerit promotions.

1996 Non-Faculty Promotions - As in past years, theprimary consideration for the 1996 seasonal promotionsshould be merit.

Non-teaching promotions may now be proposed regardlessof whether or not there are vacant non-teaching items oroccupied non-teaching items with slacks. Modifications ofnon-teaching items, like faculty items, will require Board ofRegents and Department of Budget and Managementapproval.

esc rules strictly provide compliance with minimumeligibility and educational requirements for non-teachingappointments in addition to much stricter UP prescribedqualifications. AU HRDOs must ensure that non-teachingpersonnel recommended for promotions should at least meetthe minimum requirements. Pleaseobserve alsothe following:

1. No item can be recommended for abolition for promotions purposes.

2. The budget for non-teaching promotions shall be determined by each AU. The AU is given the freedom torefine the formula for a more equitable distribution of itspromotions budget.

3. The list of recommendees (in both computer printoutand diskette file) must be prioritized and submitted tothe AU HRDO using the format specified by the CSOand used in last year's promotions.

4. Important: For 1996, each head of unit will be submitting three sets of recommendations. The first set (subject to the 10% limit of JC No. 90-1) will contain therecommendees for the JC-mandated merit (step) increase. The second will contain the recommendees forthe 1996 merit promotions. The third will contain thenames of those under the "sagad" category. Again, thesame name should not appear in more than one list; thatis, no one among the non-teaching staff can receivemore than one benefit.

5. Promotions for non-teaching-personnel shall be effective upon approval of the item fund by the DBM whereneeded, or approval of UP authorities where no DBMaction is needed, but not earlier than 1 November 1996.

6. The resulting promotions should conform with the staffing pattern of the unit and with the actual duties andresponsibilities of the promotes.

7. A final status report on the promotions implemented ineach AU shall be submitted to the President/BOR throughthe CBO on or before 3 November 1996.

"1.4 "Saqad" merit award shall be given faculty andstaff who are clearly deserving to be considered forpromotion but who are no longer promotable due toany of the following reasons:

1. They do not meet the educational, eligibility, experience or other requirements of the next higher positionto which they must ascend to as a matter of course.(e.g., Clerk IV ISG-6) SG-6/S-8 to AdministrativeAssistant SG-B, URA 11 (SG-14JSG-14/S-8 toUR 1 SG-16, Professor 12 SG 29/5-8 to UniversityProfessor.

2. They have reached the peak of their career path andthere is no higher position they can, as a matter of courseascend to. fe.g., career division heads/directors at 5-8of the SG , allocation of their present positions, UR V[SG-24JSG24/S-8, Professor 12 SG-29/S-8, University Professor SG30/S-8.

Dear Colleagues:

On September 26, 1996, the Board of Regents approvedthe Terms of Reference for the Commonwealth PropertyDevelopment Project, the culmination of a decade and a halfof serious consideration, study, and consultations towardsthe University's utilization of the portion of land at theperiphery of the Diliman campus for resource generation.Three UP Presidents and Boards of Regents have been moreor less involved in this long and continuing process, each intheir time considering the best interest of the University asthey saw it. Resource generation through the developmentof some parts of University land to support the educationalmission is not unique to UP. Universities allover the worldhave developed their real estate in order to enjoy fiscalautonomy in their pursuit of academic excellence.

many agencies that want government to take back land thatwe do not use,

The UP Oiliman Land Use Plan, first prepared in 1984 andlast revised in 1995, has maintained the original concept of agreen oval from which radiate the academic buildings as thecore of the campus. The present Land Use Plan continues todevote the bulk of our land to direct academic purpose's.Only about 18% of 88 hectares - much of it encompassed bythe Commonwealth property is set aside for resourcegeneration. The Commonwealth property itself covers 84hectares of developable areas, 12 hectares of naturalrainforest, and 5 hectares of forest buffer zone, and it isrequired that the winning developer must maintain this lastremaining urban forest of Metro Manila.

To manage the property, the Commonwealth PropertyDevelopment Corporation (CPOCI. a joint venture of UP withthe winning bidder, will be formed. UP will assign its equitycontribution - not the property itself, only the leasehold rights- to the CPOC for the next seventy-five years. For this, theUniversity expects to get about ten billion pesos worth ofshares, with mandatory 12 percent earnings per year for itspreferred stocks, from the CPOC. Meanwhile, individualfaculty and staff, as well as UP based foundations andorganizations that would like to invest in their ·a/ma materwill be provided an opportunity to do so within two years ofthe date of incorporation of CPOC.

The basic requirements and the development guidelineshave been formulated by our own School of Urban andRegional Planning. If we are able to consummate the biddingin 1997, UP will start getting the infusion of new funds of atleast P600 million a year in two or three years' time, Beforethat, it will get paper earnings from its shares.

The fiscal autonomy for the University which this resourcedevelopment project will make possible is something I will beproud to hand over to my successors since I shall be endingmy term by the time these earnings are ready for disposition.

To what purposes shall these earnings be put' In usingour real property for resource generation, we will follow thebasic principlemost recently reiterated by the Boardof Regentsduring President Jose V. Abueva's term on May 26,1993:

"All land grants to the University of the Philippines aregrants to the UP System ... Therefore the income andthe proceeds from the sale of such land grant shouldbe shared by the UP System with its constituent universities. "

At that time, the income in question was the proceeds fromUP's voluntary offer to sell the Basllan Land Grant to theDepartment of Agrarian Reform. The proceeds were set asidefor university-wide priorities consisting of three endowmentfunds: library development, provident funds, and special programs including research.

Similarly, the disposition of income for the CommonwealthProperty will be based on generally accepted practices andprinciples of proportionality and sharing, and the needs andpriorities of the University at any given time. As a yearlysupplement to the subsidies from the national government,the revenue generated will support academic and facultydevelopment programs, enhance faculty and staff benefitsand welfare, and upgrade facilities for students. 1envisionthat the greater bulk of the income will be allocated foragreed-upon University-wide priorities such as theaugmentation of the Provident Fund and the HealthMaintenance Scheme, aid to off-campus housing, supportfor faculty chairs and grants, improvement of our libraryand information/communication system, improved facilitiesfor student, such as laboratories, dormitories, and systemwide Learninq Resource Centers which will provideassistanceto students and help improve our graduation rates.The Board of Regents may set aside a smaller amount fordirect allocation by the campuses.

The governing principle here follows criteria used by theBoard of Regents and Presidents for any infusion of fundsfor the University. Not surprisingly, they are also the Board'sbases for allocating the funds for the internal operatingbudget IIOBI each year. As you know, the formulation ofthe lOB is a participative process based on proposals •emanating from the autonomous universities. TheCommonwealth revenues are expected to be a regular partof the funds for our budget from the year 2000 onwards.

Other property in the other campuses of the System arenow being prepared for similar resource generation. Theyinclude the developable area within the 5,000 hectares ofUP Los Banos, the proposed Medical Arts Building in UPManila, the 10,000-hectare property in Sierra Madre, andassets of UP Visayas and UP Mindanao.

I understand that the disposition of these revenues is amatter of concern among many members of the Universitycommunity. This is a matter of far-reaching importance notonly for one particular campus or one particular generationof faculty, staff, and students; for indeed, what wecollectively decide through our usual processes for theCommonwealth Property may well be a precedent for similardecisions in the years to come.

Let us, therefore, discuss this issue dispassionately andonly with the interests of the University at heart, for as .collective stewards of our land grants and to the University,we shall be held responsible for how we, in our time, usedthese resources to enhance' our academic excellence,maintain our academic freedom, and strengthen our standingas a university for the Filipino people.

AUTONOMY AND UNIONIN THE UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES

Open Letter of President Emil Q. Javierto the University Community

25 October 1996

Dear Colleagues:

The relationship of the UP System and the autonomousuniversities is a matter of great interest to all of us in theUniversity. Recently, the issue of autonomy has beenresurrected and the integrity and inviolability of oursystemness have been put to question. Because of this,and as I promised at the Faculty Conference in Baguio Citylast May. I would like to share with you. both. my conceptof this relationship and how I have tried to operationalize itthroughout my first three years in office. In the process, Ihope to clarify not only the importance I have given toautonomy but also my style of governance, and the valuecommitments and university ethic I have tried to uphold andpromote as your President.

Commitment to Autonomy

My commitment to autonomy is a deeply held value whichI have pursued consistently in all the posts I have held in theUniversity - as faculty member, as research and extensionprogram leader, as Division Head, as Associate Dean of theCollege of Agriculture, as founding Director of the Instituteof Plant Breeding and the National Institutes of Biotechnologyand Applied Microbiology. as Chancelior of UP Los Bafios,and now as President of the UP System.

It is a matter of record that as early as 1979. I pressed forautonomy and delegation of authority even below the levelof the Chancellor. At the UP Faculty Conference that year,recognizing the growing size and complexity of the UniversitySystem, I suggested that the real governance of the campusesshould be lodged more in the departments and colleges thanin the Office of the Chancellor. Thus I encouraged theindividual colleges and autonomous campuses to think moreand more of their internal governance.

To underscore my conviction, one of my first acts asPresident in 1993 was to change the nomenclature adopted

y my predecessor in describing the campuses fromconstituent" to "autonomous" universities. Thus, while

President Jose V. Abueva rightfully stressed our systemness,I highlighted the autonomy of its parts. This was my way ofsignalling to all that in resolving conflicts of jurisdiction andinitiative, I would tend to go the way of autonomy ratherthan of central control.

To give substance to this direction, I proposed that theI Board of Regents increase the autonomy of a Chancellor to

sign infrastructure contracts from five to ten million pesosand raise to the amount the quantity of supplies, materials,and Services s/he may purchase through public bidding. Theadoption of the Pl0 million ceiling was deliberate. Exceptfor major building construction projects, there are hardly anybusiness transactions in the campuses which exceed P 10million. By this further delegation, the AUs are essentiallyfree to conduct their business without central administrationinterference, provided they follow standard auditing rulesand regulations. The Board approved my proposal to raisethe ceiling and added to them to a long list of authorities ithad already delegated to chancellors, which include: thepower of appointment to certain levels, the formulation ofthrusts, priorities for the budget year, the conduct of all annual

financial review, the fixing of fees, the promulgation of ruleson university housing, and approval of certain studentconcerns, actions among many other matters.

In addition to this grant to all the AUs. I expanded thearea of fiscal autonomy of UP Diliman, in particular. Earlyin my administration, UP Diliman funds were placed for thefirst time under the full control and disposition of thisautonomous campus, instead of being treated, as before,as part of the System funds.

The present process is as follows: after approval of theinternal operating budget by the Board of Regents. UPDiliman's portion of the General Fund is releasedautomatically and in its entirety following only policies setby the Office of the President (Malacaliang) and theDepartment of Budget and Management. The budget forthe UP income is also authorized and releasedcomprehensively for UP Diliman's final disposition, subjectonly to actual collection by UP Diliman of its income receipts.The new process gives UP Dillman the power to exercisefiscal autonomy and responsibility in all its transactions.

The power of the purse is perhaps the strongest form ofautonomy. Thus giving UP Diliman this power to control itsown funds is a substantive and authentic grant of autonomy.These financial powers were complemented by the creationof units for the budget, accounting, information, and legalservices in UP Diliman separate from their counterpart officesin the UP System. Indeed, these changes gave the Dilimancampus the same level of self·governance that the otherautonomous universities had already been enjoying.

Autonomy Within a Strong University System

We respect autonomy as a principle of the University notsimply for its own sake but also as an instrument for thepreservation and enhancement of the UP traditions ofexcellence, academic freedom, and public service. But itmust be emphasized that the autonomy should operatewithin the context of a strong union of all UP units. TheUniversity of the Philippines as the national University isone integral institution. We have one University Charter,one Board of Regents, one President. The UP budget is fora single system; our real property is a system of land grantsto the University as a whole.

Moreover, since we subscribe to the same overarchingvision and value commitments, we look after each other'sinterests by sharing resources and complementing ourrespective strengths to attain ever higher standards of serviceto academe and the nation. Hence, we need to continuouslynurture and sustain a unified system of governance, andstrengthen collaborative decision making and mutual supportin the academic and administrative realms.

My Working Definition of the University Ethic

Let us, however, be clear about the place of autonomyand systemness in our hierarchy of values. Thoughsignificant for our day-to-day governance, the structure ofrelationship between the System and the autonomousuniversities is only an instrumental value that we shouldplace at the service of the substantive principles of academic

freedom, excellence, human dignity, justice, and the rule oflaw.

The nation looks to our University not only for academicbut also for moral ascendancy precisely because we hail thepursuit of truth, knowledge, and wisdom as the specialmandate of an academic institution. Accordingly, we mustcontinuously balance systemness and autonomy in order tomaintain a climate within which we can promote theseultimate values.

Let me share with you how I have tried to achieve thatbalance, based on the situation in UP Diliman which,unfortunately, certain quarters have construed as being in acontinual struggle for autonomy. The record would showsubstantial areas of agreement between the System andDiliman. However, there were instances when the Presidentand/or the Board of Regents moved to correct those acts ofthe current UP Diliman, administration' which were contraryto law, principles of justice and human rights, and fidelity inthe use of public funds.

Areas of Agreement and Mutual Support

Agreement between the President and the Chancellor hasbeen the norm; I will just cite a few such areas of agreementhere. The President and the Chancellor together upheld theprinciple of academic freedom in the East Timor case.Together we promoted honesty and integrity in theArokiaswamy case, and gender equity and human rights inthe Tapales case.

Although I had misgivings about the flow of informationregarding the Venturina case, the President and the Chancellorboth denounced fraternity violence while ensuring the rightsof the accused. I held up Diliman's initiatives as models forthe UP System in, for instance, developing rules against sexualharassment and fraternity violence and drafting a code offaculty ethics, just as I treated the UP Los Banos proposalson Ph.D. by research and on the status of REPS as modelsfor the entire System for the advancement our researchagenda.

I have been very supportive of the development of DILNET,a Diliman project for which the groundwork was laid as earlyas the time of Chancellor Emerlinda R. Roman and VicePresident Ester A. Garcia under President Abueva. I haveencouraged the initiation of parallel efforts in the othercampuses.

Certainly Chancellor Roger Posadas and I are in fullagreement on the need to develop and utilize our land assetsto generate more funds for our academic pursuits.Government supports us in cash through our annual budgetand in kind through land grants awarded not to any singleautonomous university but to the University System. Wemust, as good stewards, develop them to the fullest so thatthe entire University can equitably share its fruits and enjoygreater fiscal autonomy.

I have likewise supported UP Dillman's attempts to enhanceits self-governance, including the reorganization of the UPDiliman bureaucracy and the creation of new centers. Someinitiatives, such as the privatization of cafeterias in dormitories,the closure of the Book Center and the rerouting of tricycles,were unpopular, but I did not stop them because these werematters I considered to be in the domain of campus autonomy.

For its part, UP Diliman has supported UP System initiatives,such as the creation of the National Graduate School ofEngineering and the revision of the UP Charter. The adoptionof the theme "Paskong Pahinungod" for the 1994 LanternParade and the provision of Chancellor's Awards forPahinungods in 1995 and 1996 demonstrate Diliman's

recognition of the value of the Ugnayan ng Pahinungod.Several units of UP Diliman are involved in the distanceeducation programs of the UP Open University, and manymore have joined its orientation and training programspreparatory to formulating degree programs to be offered inthe distance mode.

The areas of mutual support have indeed been many andvaried. Most have served to enhance academic excellenceand freedom, human rights and dignity. public service andthe national interest, as well as a healthy relationship betweenthe UP System and UP Diliman.

There were decisions of the UP Diliman administrationwhich I personally would not have made, but because theywere only matters of conflicting opinion and did not entailvalue problems, I pursued a policy of tolerance of and respectfor Chancellor Posadas' decisions.

Problem Areas

Unfortunately, there were other decisions which rancounter to principles that we in the University hold dear.However, my disapproval of them did not narrow the areaof autonomy of UP Diliman, if by autonomy we understandthe judicious exercise of authority within the bounds of lawand ethics.

Let me now cite issues in which Chancellor Posadas and.I disagreed and bring to your attention the grounds for mydecisions.Withholding of Retirement Benefits -The promulgation ofhousing rules and regulations is an authority delegated tothe autonomous universities. Until recently retirees in Dilimanoccupying university housing units were allowed a graceperiod of one year beyond retirement to relocate. Many ofthe retirees use their retirement benefits to acquire or buildtheir own residences.

Two years ago, the UP Diliman administration changedthe rules and abolished the one year grace period. Retireeswere ordered to vacate the premises immediately uponretirement. Should they fail to yield their housing units,they would not receive clearance and their retirement benefitswould be withheld. When a number of affected retireescalled my attention to this practice, I had to step in.

Withholding the retirement benefits of retired employeesbecause they still live in UP housing units is an illegal actesince the GSIS law prohibits any attachment of retiremenbenefits; they have been contributed by employees and aretheirs by right. Moreover, in a 1994 ruling ITantuico vs.Domingo, G.R. No. 96422). the Supreme Court explicitlydeclared that "the retirement pay accruing to a public officermay not be withheld and applied for his indebtedness to thegovernment. "

Since the Diliman administration applied its new retirementrule, two retirees have passed away without enjoying thefruits of their service to the University. I feel deeply thepain and burden of this indifference to human considerations.The Dillman administrators now face several court suits fortheir intransigence.Casuals and the "Professionalization" Policy - In 1994, UPDiliman had one hundred and eighty-four (184) casualemployees. UP Dillman's current administration enunciateda policy of "professionalization" which required alladministrative personnel including clerks, drivers, janitors,cooks, and dormitory help to have college degrees.

Of the 184 casuals, one hundred and twenty four (124)were not rehired on account of the "professicnafizatlon"policy. Of the 124, sixty-three (63) casual employees hadthe appropriate civil service qualifications and met the hiring

standards of the University. They had served for periods oftwo to 15 years with satisfactory performance records, andtheir services were repeatedly requested by their respectiveunits. The 63 qualified casuals appealed to the Presidentthe Oiliman administration's decision not to rehire them onthe following grounds:1. The Chancellor has no authority to impose new

personnel qualification standards. This authority residesonly in the Civil Service Commission or

2. Even if new qualification standards were approved,they cannot be applied retroactively to the presentcasual employees.

3. Their services are needed by their offices. They haveserved loyally and competently for years.

4. People in these jobs do not require college degrees toperform effectively, in the first place.Moreover, the casuals were not aware that all these years

there were in fact positions available in the item pool whichexactly fit their job descriptions, and that many other existingadministrative items in the pool could be readily modified tosuit them. .

I referredtheir case to the Civil Service Commission whichsubsequently approved their hiring as an exemption to theattrition law. I therefore directed the rehiring of eligible casualemployees. My action in this particular situation was notthat of the President transgressing on the autonomy of achancellor. Rather it was action correcting a chancellor'sdecision on a policy matter beyond his authority. Moreimportant, it was giving justice to rank-and-file employeeswho have served and continue to serve the Universityhonorably and well, albeit in humble tasks as clerks, drivers,janitors, cooks and gardeners.Appointment of a New Basketball Coach - Varsity sports inthe UP is first and foremost a values education program.We have never countenanced compromising the academicintegrity of our athletes simply to win games. For this reasonthe UP Maroons, over the years, have been known more forgallantry, sportsmanship, and scholarship than for a winningrecord. To promote the academic excellence of our athletesand the integrity of the games we play, a coach must beabove suspicion and serve as a role model for the team.

In January 1996, the Diliman Chancellor appointed a newbasketball coach whose reputation has been challenged andvho is without any previous links with UP. Moreover, thiserson was appointed without consultation with the Dean

of the College of Human Kinetics and the faculty committeeresponsible for basketball. Furthermore, this appointment wasmade without the knowledge of the UP Diliman ViceChancellor for Community Affairs who had been appointedby Chancellor Posadas himself to take charge of Dilimansports. The CHK Dean and faculty were one in denouncingthe Chancellor's action. The Dean in particular stated thathis signature as endorser of the appointment was soughtonly after the Chancellor had already signed the appointmentpapers for that coach. He then appealed the decision of theChancellor to the President. For his part, the Vice Chancellorresigned his committee chairmanship and took a leave of

absence.Knowledgeable alumni, especially those in the sports

community, also raised a strong howl of protest. Thisprompted the President of the UP Alumni Association to askthe UP President to take appropriate corrective measures.Thus, I was compelled to avail of Article 50 of the UniversityCode for the first time during my presidency, to undo an actof a subordinate that was patently against the larger interests

of the University.

Article 50 is a review power reserved by the UniversityCode to the highest executive official of the University. It isutilized for certain decisions or rulings that require immediateaction 'because the President deems that the overriding andhigher interests of the University are being threatened, grosslyviolated, or arbitrarily being imposed upon. This reservepower is utilized sparingly and only if, in the judgment of thePresident, the larger interests of the University so require. Itis subject to appeal to the Board of Regents.

In the case of the appointment of a new basketball coach,I had to consider a chancellor's blatant disregard of theautonomy, technical expertise and authority of his own dean,as well as the serious question of integrity that had beenraised about his appointee. I rejected as well the notion thatthe University should set aside academic excellence andintegrity in the drive to win a basketball championship. Weshould not lose sight of the instrumental nature of our sportsprogram to our academic standing.

The Chancellor branded the President's action as violativeof autonomy and arrogant use of power, ignoring the factthat in the first place, it was his disregard of the autonomyof one of his deans and the authority of one of his vicechancellors that started the whole row. He appealed thisdecision to the Board of Regents but the Board upheld thePresident's decision.The Purchase of Assault Weapons - In June 1995, the DilimanChancellor ordered the purchase of high-powered assaultweapons - five submachine guns and five assault rifles for the UP Diliman Police at the total cost of P480,OOO. Thepurchase of equipment at this level of expenditure is anauthority delegated by the Board of Regents to chancellors.

However, submachine guns and assault rifles are notordinary pieces of equipment. My order to the OilimanChancellor to desist from purchasing these lethal weaponswas based on the following ground: Philippine law forbidsanyone but the military to have weapons of this offensivepower. The UP Diliman Police like all other Governmentsecurity units, "is not allowed to possess high caliber guns!firearms considered as military firearms ... except when such(security unit] is operating in areas where there is an upsurgeof lawlessness and criminality .... " (Philippine National Police,1994 Revised Rules and Regulations Implementing R.A.4857),

Thus if these weapons are to be purchased at all, clearlyit is a policy matter for the Board to determine if the Dillmansituation falls under the exception provided by the PNP rule.In the sharing of authority and responsibility between thePresident and the Board of Regents, this rests in the policydomain of the Board. Besides and more important, I seriouslyquestioned the appropriateness of the ownership and potentialuse of such high-powered assault weapons by an academicinstitution where sobriety, restraint, and maximum tolerancemust rule our behavior.

Hence, 1 disapproved this decision of the Chancellorbecause it encroached on a serious policy matter reservedfor the Board of Regents and because his action was notconsistent with law and with our status as an academicinstitution.Editorshipof the Philippine Collegian -In June 1996, on appealfrom law student Voltaire Veneration I upheld the decisionof the Chancellor dismissing the charge of misconduct againstthe Chair of the board of judges for the Philippine Collegian.However, I noted several problems with the process thejudges followed which raised questions on the fairness andintegrity of the result.

As I stated in my letter of 20 June 1996 to the UP DilimanUniversity Council, it appeared that the winner declared bythe board was first decided before the final scoring, therebyviolating the explicit Collegian Rule that there should only beoneround of scoring after which the examinee with the highestaggregate score must be declared winner.

Since the board of judges made two rounds of scoring inwhich some scores in the first round were "'adjusted" toaccommodate their choice, the most generous interpretationwould be that there were actually two winners. Using thecriterion of rank which the judges invoked to justify a secondround of scoring, Veneracion would have been the winner inthe first and second rounds since in both cases, three of thejudges gave higher scores to him than to Richard Gappi.However, using the criterion of scores as required by theCollegian rules, Veneracion won in the first round but lost toGappi in the second, To remove all doubts about who reallywon, I suggested a runoff between the top two contendingcandidates. The board of judges, the UP Diliman UniversityCouncil, and the Chancellor appealed the President's decisionto the Board of Regents. The Board of Regents ruled that theCollegian judges must stand by their original scores andforthwith declared Venera cion winner.

As it turned out, the board of judges had also been remissin the observance of the procedure for pre-qualification ofexaminees. Had they carefully screened the applicants, theywould have discovered that their choice of editor should nothave even been allowed to take the Collegianexamination inthe first place, since he was actually a graduate student whoseregistration adviser, herself one of the judges, should havebeen able to Inform the board of the true academic status ofGappi. As a graduate student he was not qualified underCollegian rules to serve as editor,

I reviewed the issue of the Collegian editorship very closelybecause of the special role the Collegian plays in the University- the freedom of the press, the promotion of academicfreedom and ·critical thought, and the development ofleadership and integrity among our studentry. Therefore Icould not support a process that seemed to detract from itssanctity,Hamon: Pamaskong Handog ni Chancellor - Last December1995, "a pamaskong handog ni Chancellor" was announcedin the form of two kilos of ham for each UP Diliman employee.This was to be charged to the discretionary fund of theChancellor. I understand that the whole order was split intoseveral vouchers, presumably to go around public biddingrequirements,

Although like everybody else I wanted our employees tohave Christmas cheer, I disapproved the purchase of the hamusing public funds because it was unnecessary, extravagant,and illegal. Republic Act No. 66B6, authorizing an annualChristmas bonus to national and local government officialsand employees, specifically forbids awards beyond the 13thmonth pay and the P1 ,000 cash award. The Head of Agency(meaning the UP President, not any of the chancellors) wouldbe held responsible for payments in excess of the above.Earlier, the practice at UP Los Banos to give away discardedrice harvests from the experiment station to laborers belongingto the lowest salary grades was disallowed by the Commissionon Audit.

Chancellor Posadas claimed that his personal gift of hamto each Diliman employee would be charged against hisdiscretionary fund. I had to remind him that even expenditureswhich may have the nature of being subject to the discretionof an official must still conform with government rules andregulations .. Had I not stopped the Chancellor from proceeding

with this illegal transaction, he would have spent Pl. 54million from his so-called discretionary fund. He would havebeen in deeper trouble because the Board of Regents allowedthe President a discretionary fund of only P500,000 for thewhole of 1995. On what authority was a discretionary fundlarger than the BaR approved President's discretionary fundcreated for the Diliman Chancellor.The Harvard Internet Travel - President's Disapproval ofrequest for travel. In May 1996, Chancellor Posadasrequested travel authority and use of public funds to attenda four-day seminar on the Internet at Harvard. The wholetrip would have cost about $4,700 for Chancellor Posadasalone.

I disapproved the request because I deemed it unnecessaryand excessive to spend that amount for a program whosesubstance would be accessible through means other thansuch an expansive trip, such as books, local trainingprograms, or the Internet itself. The Chancellor did not informme that at that time, he had already approved the attendance,at the same seminar, of a vice chancellor and two deans,one of whom had received the original invitation. Thisdelegation was subsequently increased by three others(another dean and two directors), all to be paid for by UPfunds, all in the name of staff development. All told, thetrip would have cost the University about $28,000 or three.quarters of a million pesos. No one was reading an academicpaper, the usual requirement for granting travel funds tofaculty members attending conferences abroad for theirprofessional development.

Many faculty members routinely receive similar invitations.Very often these are ignored because the learning to bederived from too general a discussion would not becommensurate to the huge expense they entail. I do notthink the University should use its scarce public funds tosend anyone for such an amorphous staff development.

Travel request to Malacaiiang without mention of mydisapproval. After I had disapproved his travel on officialbusiness, Chancellor Posadas constituted a delegation ofUP Diliman administrators, including himself, and then askedfor travel authority from Malacafianq, neglecting to cite myearlier disapproval of his request. Upon learning of my earlierdecision, Malacanang rescinded its approval, decrying notonly the travesty of the chain of command but also thesubterfuge that had been used to obtain such approval. •Scientific Career System - The Scientific Career System (SCS,is a closed career system jointly administered by theDepartment of Science and T.echnology (DOSTI and the CivilService Commission, It recognizes scientists in thebureaucracy by giving them ranks and salaries commensuratewith their scientific work and experience, This was devisedin order to retain government scientists as scientists and togive them salaries comparable to that received byadministrators, thereby assuring them that they need notabandon scientific work in order to go up the career ladderin the bureaucracy. Before the SCS, top-notch governmentscientists could go no higher than the equivalent of ourAssistant Professor level, unless they became administrators.

About four years ago, the Scientific Career Council (SCC)entertained the application for inclusion into the ScientificCareer System of three professors from a state university inthe South, When I rejoined the Council in 1993 as ex officiomember in my capacity as UP President, I called the SCC'sattention to the fact that the Scientific Career System didnot contemplate covering faculty members because stateuniversities and colleges (SUes) have their own academicclosed career system. The scientist ranks in the Scientific

Career System are redundant for faculty because in the firstplace they were intended to match the associate professorand full professor ranks which the SUC faculty already enjoy.

As UP President I objected to the inclusion of faculty inthe SCS ranks because of its threat to our institutionalacademicfreedom with regard to assessment andpromotionof faculty. It would place faculty in UP under two closedcareer systems using different evaluation criteria. It couldlead to inequity as one can envision a situation where twofaculty members with the same UP rank and productivity areplaced at different salary levels because one is in the SCSand the other is not. More than that. it would take awayfrom UP and give to DOST the power to decide on the rankand salary of some of our faculty members. The creation ofthe Scientific Career System was one of the initiatives Ipursued during my term as Minister of Science andTechnology in the early '80s. I am perplexed that thisinnovation should now be turned against me.

Social Scientists in the SCS. I also want to make itknown that from the beginning, I had wanted to include socialscientists inthe bureaucracy into the SCS. I was thwartedin that plan during my tenure as Minister; the best I could dowas to insert a section that at some future time, socialscientists could be included in the SCS. When I again becamea member of the Scientific Career Council in 1993, I decidedthat the time was ripe to make that inclusion. However,some physical scientists belonging to the National ResearchCouncil of the Philippines objected and would agree to theinclusion of social scientists in the System only if their fieldof study was science and technology policy, a requirementthat ignores the integrity of social science as a science. Iobjected vigorously to this humiliating treatment of socialscientists and insisted that they be included in the SCS onequal footing with natural and physical scientists. The SCCis now studying this proposal.

I have also moved to make a similar career service forartists. In partnership with the Cultural Center of thePhilippines, the National Commission on Culture and theArts, and the Civil Service Commission, a UP facultycommittee is now conceptualizing the Artist Career Servicewhich will give the same recognition to artists in thebureaucracy.

Research/Extension Professors. Practising scientists in~overnment, including the research, extension and

rofessional staff of UP, are penalized on two counts: first,the lower salary ceilings which, before the installation of theSCS, matched only those of assistant professor and second,the possibility of promotion only if there was a vacancy in ahigher position. Deserving faculty, on the other hand, maybe promoted anytime, subject only to the availability of meritpromotion funds.

I am pleased to report to you that the inequity suffered byour REPs has now been rectified through our representationswith DBM. We proposed two options: 111 add three to fourResearcher ranks to match the associate and full professorranks, or (2) reclassify REPs as research/extension professors.The DBM accepted the latter and so deserving REPs are nowsubject to reclassification as research or extension professors,as the case may be. Their promotion will no longer beconstrained by the absence of bigger items. Like regularfaculty they may now be promoted by simply adding on totheir existing items, provided, however, that they teach atleast one course each year to earn the professor appellation.Distribution of STFAP Funds - STFAP is a University programinstituted by my predecessor President Abueva wherebystudents pay tuition on the basis of their ability to pay. Poorbut deserving students are more highly subsidized by

government funds while getting quality UP education. UPDiliman and UP Manila get relatively more students from thehigher brackets than UP Los Banos and UP Visayas and thusreceive a much larger income from tuition fees.

The University policy is to redistribute tuition income inan equitable manner since STFAP is a program of the entireUP System. The original formula for redistribution, as devisedby the Abueva administration, was for AUs with greaterincome from tuition fees to remit to the other campuses anamount that would make up for the latter's deficit due tothe provision of STFAP allowances to more lower-bracketstudents. After such transfer of funds, UP Diliman and UPManila continued to keep the bulk of tuition fee income.

This formula was followed until the present Dilimanadministration balked at Diliman's "subsidy" to UPV andUPLB.

Thus, in consultation with Diliman and the other AUs, wearrived at a new formula in which the basis for computingeach AU's share of the STFAP funds would be on a perstudent basis. We reasoned that since STFAP is a Systemprogram for democratizing access to a UP education, fundsderived from tuition income should be treated as UP Systemfunds for equitable distribution to AUs according to thenumber of students, and no AU should be penalized for havinga larger share of students from the lower income brackets.

It must be reiterated that all students regardless of incomebracket are subsidized because current tuition levels are farbelow the actual cost of a UP education. Thus, Bracket 9students do not subsidize Bracket 1 students; the formersimply receive less subsidy from Filipino taxpayers than thelatter. This argument applies to campuses as well.

The UP Diliman administration, without refuting the newformula refused to transfer the requisite amount to thecampuses which had more students from lower incomebrackets. Thus, after waiting for several weeks for UP Dilimanto implement the new formula and to heed the pleas ofChancellor Arsenio Camacho of UP Visayas whose STFAPstudents were waiting, for their stipends, I ordered a transferof the System's subsidy to UP Diliman by an amount exactlyequivalent to what UP Diliman would have contributed tothe System STFAP funds ..This had the same effect as atransfer by UP Diliman to UPV and UPLB since the amountof money remaining with Diliman would be the same.

The UP Diliman Chancellor, however, used this as a reasonto cut the maintenance and other operating expenses (MOOE)of Diliman units, thus pitting academic programs againstSTFAP, and creating unnecessary conflict between Dilimanand the System. This was at a time when Diliman had P63million unprogrammed savings and therefore had no reasonto touch the meager maintenance funds of the colleges.

Even more disappointing is the fact that the Dilimanadministration placed a most important University programin jeopardy, a program, moreover, that is anchored onprinciples of equity and social justice to enable poor, deservingstudents to acquire a UP education.

Conclusion

I regret that in situations like the ones I have narratedabove, fundamental guidelines we live by are stirred up asissues to divide. Committed as I am to the principle of autonomy, my decision in each of these cases wa~ made w.ithdue deliberation and great difficulty. At the risk of beingperceived weak and indecisive, I took time to study all facets of the situation, mindful of the fact that the interests ofour University must be the principal consideration. For evenas I sought the advice and opinion of others, I remained

deeply conscious of the fact that as the chief steward of theUniversity, I am accountable not only to the Board of Regents but also to you, the members of the University Community, and ultimately to our nation and the Filipino peopleat large for the actions that the University takes.

Thus I have tried in all my decisions to uphold the primacyof the academic function, justice and fairness, human dignity,observance of the law, accountability, and judiciousness inthe use of public funds. Not once have I sought to undermineUP Diliman's, or any other unit's autonomy.

In the five other autonomous units, representing over halfof our faculty and students, I have had no occasion to useArticle 50. Nor had there been any major controversy whereI was accused of violating the autonomy of any unit.Disagreements have been ironed out amicably either in thePresident's Advisory Council, in separate meetings with theAU, or with the Chancellor concerned. 'None has reached, asit has in Diliman, the level of contentiousness and undueexposure to the media which feed upon the controversy withneither an in-depth understanding of the contexts of thesituation nor of the internal mechanisms by which we processdissent in the University.

It is most surprising to have experienced what we did inUP Diliman since the only chancellor who sat in my ExecutiveStaff meeting every week was the Diliman Chancellor; hecould thus have shared with me directly, had he so desired,the plans and programs he had for his AU. It has only beensince 1 January 1996 that Chancellor Posadas has refusedto honor our invitations to attend these meetings.

Questions of autonomy will always arise in any universitycomposed of units as strong and as diverse as ours. Youmay recall that the university system was created in 1972precisely to ward off the secessionist movement of the thenColleges of Agriculture and Forestry in Los Banos. To forestalla similar crisis, we have to develop ways of drawing togetherour ever enlarging UP System and its constituencies. Thus Ihave tried throughout my tenure to promote an atmosphereof transparency, trust, and mutual respect where negotiationand consensus can take place. In a community of highlyintelligent, committed individuals and in the context of theexpansion of the UP System and rapid developments in ournational life, conflict and tensions will arise, and agreementon all issues cannot always be expected or even be desired.Yet, precisely because of this, we must allow a special placefor restraint and accuracy, civility and goodwill, good humour

-~._---

and fair play, and mutual trust to carry us through to ournext, possibly even bigger, set of issues.

Perhaps it is auspicious that in the mid-termof my tenureas President, it has become necessary for me to clarify tothe University community the relationship betweenautonomy and union. In the last three years of my term, Iexpect problems and issues related to UP's growth andexpansion to take center stage, and here the relationshipbetween the Chancellors and the President becomesparticularly crucial. On one hand, with the guidance andsupport of the Board of Regents, I must take responsibilityfor charting the general direction that the System will takewhile ensuring that adequate resources are generated andjudiciously expended according to the pace and magnitudeof our growth. On the other hand, the translation of plansand directions into concrete programs and activities in eachautonomous university and its academic units cannot occurwithout the vision, initiative, and creative leadership of itsChancellor.

I am acutely aware of the need to forge a delicate balancebetween ensuring a common direction for the System whileassuring the Chancellors of their space to initiate, to create,and to sustain the growth and development of their ownautonomous university. Yet, while we might all devoutlywish that all campuses would proceed apace, I know thatthis is not always possible because the combination of •timing, talent, and opportunity for each campus comes invaried forms. Where the precise combination does notoccur, the fact of our union becomes important - toexchange views, to share resources, to sustain each other,even to argue on how we should move this System closerto our vision of the University.

As long as we remain true to the mission of the Universityand loyal to its traditions, there is room for dissent, debate,negotiation, and accommodation within the parameters oflaw and ethics. It is healthy for a university community toair out disagreement, because in the process, we invokeand apply the values we live by r deepen our commitmentto their promotion, and ensure that during our watch wewill not compromise on major values and principles. I hopethat mutual understanding of the positions we take in thevarious issues will move us into a process of healing andgrowth, where there are neither victors nor losers, only thecertainty that the University will endure and prosper well ainto its second century. ,.,
