Atty. Maria Melina B. Saldajeno, Chief Legal Officer of the UP Diliman Legal Office met with Dean Tonette Tanchuling, UPERDFI President Chicho Mantaring and ED Tito Aliga on March 31 to discuss professorial chairs in Engineering. They agreed that further discussions need to be made with the Secretary of the UP Board of Regents, which has the authority for the establishment of university professorial chairs.
The need for professorial chairs is a continuing challenge as we expect to welcome returning faculty from their Ph.D./D.Eng studies.
