The University of the Philippines (UP) has appointed a new faculty regent to join its highest policymaking body ahead of other major changes in leadership this year. On Wednesday, outgoing UP president Danilo Concepcion swore in Carl Marc Ramota as the 27th faculty regent in a ceremony held at Quezon Hall in UP Diliman.
Ramota, an associate professor of political science in UP Manila, will represent the over 4,000 teachers of the state university before the Board of Regents (BOR) until Dec. 31, 2024. As one of the three sectoral regents in the BOR, he is expected to review and approve policies and programs affecting the university’s teaching staff and also promote and protect their well-being. —KRIXIA SUBINGSUBING
