CHED Grants Autonomous Status to ADNU; College of Education is Center of Excellence

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) granted autonomous status to the Ateneo de Naga University last June 2, 2008 and designated its College of Education as a Center of Excellence in Teacher Education. The news was relayed to AdNU President, Fr. Joel E. Tabora, S.J. by CHED Commissioner Nenalyn Defensor.

In accordance with RA 7722,  CHED supervises nationwide some 1,500 private higher education institutions (PHEIs) offering some 978 academic programs with combined enrollment of over 1.6 million students.  The sheer scope of this mandate led CHED, beginning in 2001, to rationalize its supervision by implementing progressive deregulation through the grant of deregulated or autonomous status to deserving PHEIs. At present, the selection of deregulated or autonomous PHEIs is based on three general criteria, namely:  (1) long tradition of integrity and untarnished reputation, (2) commitment to excellence as evidenced by accreditation of academic programs and presence of Centers of Development or Excellence and other quality assurance indicators, and (3) sustainability and viability of operations.

OUR NEW JESUIT GENERAL:
Father Adolfo Nicolas, S.J.

The day after the election of Fr. Adolfo Nicolas as Superior General of the Society of Jesus, many of us here in Rome find ourselves deeply grateful for the guidance of the Spirit. We believe in faith that it was the Spirit who led us to choose Fr. Nico--as we fondly call him in our part of the world--as the 29th successor to St. Ignatius. This past week, the newspapers in Italy had come out with lists of possible generabili. It is surely significant that Fr. Nicolas was never mentioned!

ANNOUNCEMENT

TASK FORCE NOAH
For the victims of Typhoon Frank

In a memo to the Philippine Province, Fr. Provincial Jose Cecilio Magadia has stated:

The recent typhoon wreaked a terrible cost in terms of lives lost and properties/homes damaged or destroyed. Iloilo, where our own fledging Ateneo has been struggling to establish a new campus, has been especially hard hit by this calamit. While we are thankful that our Jesuits and personnel are safe, we cannot ignore the daunting task of rebuilding and repair that they and their kababayan will have to face in the days ahead. Much of the province is flooded, without electricity and short of drinking water. Local resources strain to cope with the many needs..

Ramon “Monching” Constancio
(ADEN HS’57)

After his valiant fight with cancer, Monching is now finally with his creator. He was laid to rest last June 16, 2008. A 9th Day Memorial Service will be made in his honor on June 20, 2008 in New Jersey. .
