Tuition increases and marine surveillance
Some campus issues at hand, or I’ve come across recently.
A proposal by an Ad Hoc committee formed by UP Pres. E. Roman to increase UP’s tuition fees from P 300 to P 1,000 per unit in UP Diliman, UP Manila, and UP Los Baños and from 200 to 600 for UP Baguio, UP Visayas, UP Pampanga, and UP Mindanao, has been submitted to the Board of Regents (for approval?). The Board of Regents are to meet tomorrow in UP Los Baños.
Also, it has been found that more than a quarter of the Special Service Brigade, civilian men hired by the university as an additional security force (those guys wearing reflectorized orange vests with yantok sticks roaming around the Academic Oval day ang night), are actually marines and army personnel in disguise. Tsk, tsk.
Gawd I hope it won’t push through… I don’t want to pay 21,000++ per sem! There’s going to be a riot if ever they favor this move…
That increase is too much.
sobra! payag k b bikoy niyan?
bihira ko na ma-vvsit tong site mo bikoy… ingatz… and God bless….
Oh well, might as well change the university’s name: UP(University of the Poor) –> UA(University of the Affluent)
That is really ridiculous..though i wouldn’t be affected coz i’m a graduating student in Diliman.. but still, UP is a damn state university! that explains everything..
con’s docu topic is on the “batuta boys.” i told her about this little piece of info and she wasnt surprised anymore.
Wow, I thought Roman strongpoint was academics. If that’s the way she’s controlling lack of funding… wuuuuuuuuh.
