Pontifical University to lead Dominican schools under integration plan

ONE RECTOR for all campuses.

UST will soon oversee other schools run by the Dominican Order in the Philippines under an integration plan to be crafted this year.

Rector Fr. Herminio Dagohoy, O.P. said University officials were working on the final arrangements to merge with other Dominican schools and build satellite campuses, to extend Thomasian education beyond the Sampaloc campus.

Fr. Dagohoy said the proposed integration “would mean there would be only one rector but different boards of trustees.”
