The tension between the administration of University of the East (UE) and members of student bodies continues to escalate as concerns raised on “revoked” scholarships deemed to be unresolved.
A series of posts on the official Facebook page of RedWire, an independent student-led online publication based in UE, revealed letters sent by UE President Ester Garcia and the presidents of UE-Manila University Student Council (USC) and UE-Caloocan Central Student Council (CSC) to the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) on the issue of “unjust” revocation of scholarships.
In a letter addressed to CHED National Capital Region (NCR) Director Dr. Virginia Akiate dated April 15, UE-Manila USC President Justine Jae Calatong formally asked CHED to conduct an “investigation of the disqualification of the students” in the UE’s scholarship grants.
