Post-grad degree not ‘best’ basis for promotion, Faculty Union chief says
TEACHING is a vocation that is not only nourished inside the academe.
This was the response of UST Faculty Union President Gil Gamilla to the statement of Rector Fr. Rolando de la Rosa O.P., who said during the Rector’s Report last Nov. 7 that faculty promotions should continue to be based on merit.
Gamilla, a professor at the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, said there are two ways for a faculty member to be promoted: by obtaining the required “meritorious points” or by earning a post-graduate degree.

CARP could only be changed through charter change,” Elvie Baladad, a 1973 AB Political Science graduate, said in the forum “Usapang Tomasino 6: Rinepormang Reporma,” last Nov. 28 at the Civil Law Moot Court.
