The University of the Philippines (UP) Board of Regents (BOR) has failed to adopt a resolution lodged by its sectoral regents that called upon the board to continue upholding the UP-Department of National Defense (DND) accord.
In a Facebook post, the UP Office of the Student Regent said the BOR instead referred the resolution to a technical working group, supported UP President Danilo Concepcion’s efforts to engage in dialogue, and affirmed Concepcion’s statements on the matters of UP-DND accord and red-tagging.
“The members of the Board have made known that they stand with the principle of academic freedom. The challenge now is to translate this unity into decisive action,” the UP Office of the Student Regent said.
