PASADO na sa ikatlo at huling pagbasa ng Kamara de Representantes ang panukala upang magkaroon ng kinatawan ang mga non-academic at non-teaching personnel sa governing board ng mga state universities and colleges (SUCs).

Aamyendahan ng House Bill 8349 ang Republic Act (RA) No. 8292, o ang Higher Education Modernization Act of 1997.

“Section 1 of House Bill No. 8349 amends Section 3 of RA 8292 to include the president of the federation of non-academic and non-teaching personnel associations for multi-campus universities or the association of non-academic and non-teaching personnel for a university or college with a single campus, to be a member of the governing body of SUCs,” ani Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez, lider ng 312 miyembro ng Kamara.

“This ensures the representation of non-academic and non-teaching personnel in the governing board of SUCs so that their rights, needs, and welfare are protected. Our SUCs are not only composed of academic and teaching personnel so it is just fair that their non-academic and non-teaching employees will have a say in decision-making and matters that will affect them,” dagdag pa ni Romualdez.

Nakasaad din sa HB 8349 na ang presidente ng faculty, non-academic at non teaching personnel, asosasyon, at student regents o trustees ay mananatili sa boad hanggang sa pagtatapos ng kanilang termino.

Ang panukala ay akda nina Reps. Mark Go, Roman Romulo, Wilter Palma, Yasser Alonto Balindong, Zia Alonto Adiong, Alan 1 Ecleo, Joseph Gilbert Violago, Steve Chiongbian Solon, Leody “Odie” F.
