Administrators hold post-PAASCU evaluation

University administrators gathered yesterday, March 20, 2007, at the Theodore Buttenbruch Hall to evaluate the recent PAASCU visit during a meeting facilitated by Fr. Pres. Roderick C. Salazar Jr., SVD, M.A. and Arts and Sciences Dean Elizabeth M. Remedio, Ph.D.

Dr. Remedio cited the need for a systems approach with emphasis on process over structure, development over growth, relationships over objects, wholes over parts, and quality over quantity. She stressed that the accreditation process was cyclical and the preparation for the next eventual visit should begin now.

Fr. Salazar also shared that the University will be visited by the Commission on Higher Education Regional Office to re-assess its status as an autonomous institution based on CHED MO 32 (2001). This re-accreditation will be for one year and will allow ample time for the University to prepare for the IQuAME assessment, which is required for the five-year autonomous status.
