Attendance checking policy
A new attendance checking policy to monitor professors is being implemented at CAS.
The (already overworked yet underpaid) security guards were tasked by the college administration to serve as attendance checkers. This policy, according to a senior faculty, is first of its kind in UP.
The security guards submit their tallies to the Dean. Then the Dean sends a memo to the professors who don't declare their absences in their daily time record (DTR). In some cases, professors were marked absent even if they only held their classes in another room. In order to rectify the wrong record, the (also overworked yet underpaid and sometimes unappreciated) professors need to provide a justification by filling up a slip.
Many professors find the policy insulting and oppressive.
If the intention of the policy is to identify the professors who are habitual absentees, I believe that the semestral student evaluation of their professors as an internal control mechanism is more than sufficient. Why then is it being administered every semester if it's not serving its purpose?
Kilala naman natin kung sino ang (mga) malimit (talamak!) lumiban sa klase dahil sa raket.
Kilala naman natin kung sinong (mga) propesor ang mas marami
pang pagliban sa klase kaysa sa kanyang mga estudyante.
Ang tanong ng karamihan ay bakit kailangang idamay ang lahat sa patakarang ito
gayong tukoy naman kung (sinu-)sino ang inuuna ang raket kaysa sa batayang
responsibilidad sa pamantasan at sa kanyang (kanilang) mga estudyante?
Another senior faculty puts it succinctly when he said, "When you want to catch
the shark, don't drain the entire ocean."
Dear readers, we need your opinion about this issue.

GMA-appointee Sec. Esperon is a paradox to the peace agenda

all throughout his military life he was devoted to searching and destroying enemies.
Government incompetence killed the peace negotiation and
so these people have to go and go quickly.
They should take the cue from the Japanese and resign or commit harakiri."
