Plan of Action as UP Faculty Regent for 2OL9-2O2O

UP Diliman
As a union leader, I have been at the frontlines of the struggle in pursuit of the rights and welfare of thefaculty, REPS and administrative personnel for more than a decade.
We have had some successes and we have had some disappointments. I admit to feeling happy when I
meet faculty, REPS and administrative employees who express their sincere appreciation for thebenefits we have collectively achieved and the rights we have fought for. These hard-won gains wereoften attained through bitter and protracted negotiations and struggles. lf we had not stood our groundon principle, we would not have won anything for the rank-and-file,
I have sometimes felt disheartened by cases I have seen where fair and transparent implementation ofexisting university policies could have sufficed to prevent the unnecessary anguish of individual facultymembers. I have spoken to many of them who are young and untenured. I have also felt sad when I see
some faculty members genuinely demoralized by some policies which they feel do not give duerecognition to their contributions, sacrifices and wholehearted dedication to our institution. I havealways hoped we could do much more for them.
The Faculty Regent (FR) is a mechanism for bringing the voice of the faculty as a sector into the BOR.
Even if it is not sufficient in itself, it is a crucial element in the larger and ongoing project ofdemocratizing University governance. Although it is true that the FR primarily represents the interests ofthe faculty in the BOR, the FR should nevertheless also stand for the welfare and safeguard the rights ofResearch, Extension and Professional Staff (REPS), administrative personnel, students and the broaderUP community as a whole. The FR should always foster close ties with the faculty and other sectors inthe UP community and be accountable for his or her actions in the BOR. The FR should always take upprincipled positions after consultations and consistently and strongly assert these positions in the BOR.
The intensifying "internationalization" of the University and the concomitant fixation with our place inthe "global rankings" of universities confronts us with some dire challenges. On the one hand, it couldworsen the tendency to academic individualism, atomization and the fragmentation of our communityeven as our campus becomes more and more gentrified and university governance increasinglycorporatized. On the other hand, it could inspire us to work more closely together, regardless ofdisciplines, in a historic project to more deeply orient our scholarship towards attaining nationalindustrialization, the emancipation of the great majority from poverty, and the flourishing of Philippineculture, arts and languages.
lf elected as FR, I hope to accomplish or initiate the following:
Initiate an informative and critical, multidisciplinary and system-wide dialogue amongpractitioners in the humanities, socialsciences and naturalsciences on university policiespertaining to publications in journals which shall give particular attention to understanding the
a
a
Study and propose additional mechanisms to encourage and support publication in journals byjunior faculty while putting in place policies and measures which can strengthen and enhancethe position of Philippine journals such as a Philippine citation index.
To continue the collegial and multidisciplinary, system-wide discussion on General Education(G.E.) and its importance for the University in the 21't century. Connected with this is thefostering of a dialogue on the theory and practice of Outcome Based Education (OBE) in tertiaryleveleducation and in UP in particular.
To hold consultations with faculty, researchers and librarians on the improvement of universitylibrary resources and facilities so that the UP can become an advanced research university inphilosophy, the arts and humanities, the social sciences, engineering, natural sciences andmathematics.
To study and propose means for attaining a balance between the teaching, research andextension functions of the University so that faculty members dedicated to excellent teachingand extension work can be given the due and proper recognition they deserve. Connected withthis is the search for effective mechanisms and structures for promoting and enhancinginterdisciplinary and multidisciplinary projects in teaching, research and extension in the variousCUs.
To launch a survey of university policies and practices on recruitment, renewal, tenure andpromotion across CUs and across disciplines and to recommend ways to ensure their fair andtransparent implementation. Such policies must however be accompanied by sufficientlyenabling conditions for allteaching staff. lt is also important to formulate reasonable policieswhich can assist the so-called "reneging faculty" in reintegrating themselves into the University
To study and work for longer-term solutions for the chronic lack or shortage of items forteaching positions in some CUs (such as UP Mindanao and UP Cebu) and to ensure that theinstitution of tenure as a cornerstone of academic freedom in the University is adequatelyprotected.
Continue the work for enhancing non-wage benefits such as housing, health and wellness, andch ildca re.
To ensure that the campus is free from gender discrimination and to work towardsimplementing progressive policies defending the rights of the LGBT community.
To promote mechanisms and structures for democratic governance in the university at all levelsand to look for effective mechanisms to ensure the timely intervention of the faculty and theUniversity community as a whole in pressing national issues.
