UP joins world of
commerce zestfully |
|
It’s now a National University under a new charter
militants don’t like |
|
By Rene Q. Bas, Editor in
Chief
THE University of the Philippines
has a new charter that proclaims it a “national
university”—just as the world’s top-ranking universities are.
The new charter allows UP to be fiscally independent so that it can
increase the salaries of its professors, which are lower than those
paid by the Ateneo and La Salle.
Fiscal independence also allows
it to buy whatever equipment it needs to become a world-class
university with a better chance of rising to the level of being the
pre-eminent one in all Asia.
