He said the proposed name reflects the true nature and scope of the functions and services provided by that office in UP Diliman. There being no objections to the motion duly made and circulated, the Board approved the proposed transfer of the foregoing offices from OC to OVCRD. Regent Jimenez seconded the motion with a clarification to incorporate the Board's input into the final proposal that will be brought back to the Board.

Chairman De Vera proposed that approval of the upgrade of the TTBDO be done by referendum, with the appropriate documents presented to the members of the Council. He recalled that it was agreed that if the proponent could submit the required document to the satisfaction of the Council, the Council would approve the upgrade of the TTBDO. He asked for the approval of the upgrade as provided in the earlier briefing by UP Diliman.

Since there were no objections to the submitted and seconded proposal, the board approved the upgrading of the TTBDO to an office. Proposed institution of the Professional Master in Data Science (Analytics) Program Board Action: APPROVED Board Action: APPROVED. Barrios, former dean of the School of Statistics, presented to the board the proposed Professional Master in Data Science (Analytics) program at the School of Statistics.

Realignment of UP Visayas’ Income from the Revolving Fund in the amount of One Million Ninety Eight Thousand Eight Hundred Sixty Three Pesos Only

However, since HRDO UP Diliman considered his inability to return to the Philippines immediately as a breach of contract and classified him as a Reneging Fellow, he was asked to settle his financial obligation and his salary was not paid for several months. She sought clarification as to whether the recommendation referred to a (redacted) financial obligation or simply that she should pay it in kind as set out in the guidelines approved by the committee. Regent Arinto agreed that the label may be unfair, but some offices at the university insist on labeling him as such.

He therefore proposed that the Council waive the declaration that he was a disapproving fellow when he requested that the University allow him to pursue his PhD on scholarship. 1 In all decisions involving the disbursement of funds, it is understood that the same shall be subject to all existing government accounting and auditing laws, rules and regulations. Whether the Council agrees with the faculty member's home department, she said it is the department's prerogative to decide whether to retain him as a faculty member based on their knowledge of the person and the priorities of the unit.

Thus, she considers it better to simply waive her financial obligation rather than correct his classification as a renegade guy. The board also agreed that there will be a review of the scholarship resignation policy.

However, by the time they realized this, she had already completed her tour of duty and was required to settle the financial obligation because she was considered to have reneged on the signed contract.

MATTERS CONFIRMED BY THE BOARD

MYRAFE SEBASTIAN-YLAGAN, Assistant Professor 1, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, effective August 1, 2018 to July 31, 2019. Board Action: APPROVED, with the request that the Vice President for Academic Affairs and the Vice Chancellor of UP Diliman submit to the BOR as soon as possible from time to time submits stricter rules for the tenure of some faculties, as well as new rules on tenure for approval by the Board of Directors. The Board of Trustees directed UP Diliman not to submit any further request to the BOR for the waiver of faculty tenure rules after AY2018-2019 until the Board approves the new tenure rules.

If the reason is due to the stricter rules, then the problem is that the board never approved those stricter rules. He said colleges with stricter tenure rules must first get board approval before deciding on their waiver requests. In fact, her office is requesting all tenure rules from the CUs so that they can be submitted to the board for approval within a few months.

In less than a year, the new rules must be submitted to the board, because requests for exemptions will soon be coming again. One of these is that stricter rules that have not been submitted to the board for approval must be submitted to the board. The other is the new tenure rules, which will first go through consultation before they can be submitted to the board for approval.

Her prayer is that the board considers requests for exemption from UP Diliman tenure rules for AY 2018-2019 only. This also gives them time to figure everything out before the new rules can be submitted to the board for approval.
