Ifugao State University (IFSU) is envisioned to be a globally recognized University upholding excellence amidst rich cultural heritage. To facilitate the achievement of the vision, the faculty needs to be strengthened and equipped with knowledge and skills to transform the students into quality and competitive graduates with competencies equitable to graduates of premier universities who are responsive to the demand of time.
IFSU has its own Faculty Development Program compliant to the provisions of RA 7722, the Rationalization Program of College, prevailing rules of the Civil Service Commission, the IFSU-PRAISE (Program on Awards and Incentives for Service Excellence) and CHED Memo #43, s.2015 re Consolidated Implementing Guidelines of the Higher Education Development Program, and in pursuance of the College’s aim to opportunities as is spelled out in the BOT Resolution No. 625, series of 2002, the program was modified to include benefits and other policies to motivate the faculty and administrative personnel to pursue endeavors towards enhanced professional development.
The faculty are being provided with trainings and seminars either through in-house and/or external to keep the faculty abreast with the current development in various fields of discipline. For this purpose, the Institution allocates sufficient funds from the Special Trust Fund and General Fund for the Program.
Scholarship and study grants are availed by the faculty either through IFSU and other institutions such as CHED, DOST, and DA. But to prevent inbreeding, scholars are directed to enroll in graduate programs of reputable schools outside the Province with better accreditation or level than IFSU. Likewise, the scholars are directed to have their graduate studies vertical to their undergraduate degree.
Furthermore, membership to professional organization, development and production of research and instructional materials, availment of sabbatical leave, and rewards or entitlement system are the areas of development for faculty members.
Ifugao State University (IFSU) was established by virtue of Republic Act No. 9720 signed by Her Excellency, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on October 14, 2009.
