PNU students walk out of classes
STUDENTS of the Philippine Normal University walked out of their classes and held a noisy protest on Friday after the board of regents reaffirmed the election of Lutgardo Barbo as the new university president.
At a special meeting, the board upheld its decision on June 24 to appoint Barbo as president with a term of four years.
The minutes of the meeting, which contained the decision, was signed by Nenalyn Defensor, chairman of the board and commissioner of the Commission on Higher Education.
Faculty members and candidates for the office Dr. Ester Ogena and Dr. Twila Punsalan submitted documents to the board to show that the formula used by the selection committee to come up with the “final ranking of the candidates deviated from the generally accepted principles of statistics.”
Dr. Minda Sutaria, chairman of the selection committee, was invited to shed light on the matter while the board maintained that the formula used by the committee was “credible.”
The board said Barbo met the qualifications set by the Civil Service Commission and that his being a lawyer, based on a CHED resolution, is equivalent to having a master’s degree.
The board said Barbo has managerial and administrative experience, having served as provincial governor of Eastern Samar for three terms and chairman of the provincial school board. --Jonathan Hicap
