Haqq: If ever na may promotions heavy na event, sana isama na kami ni Haqq and Kyla sa conceptualization phase so we can also plan rin kung anong content ‘yong kakayanin. Medyo mino-monitor rin kasi naming ni Kyla kung saan mas papatok ‘yong ibang mga activities.

Dean Nominations Standmaking (c/o Chairperson) - 45 min
DEAN NOMINATIONS STANDMAKING
Econsult Summary
Andi: For transparency, we sent Ma’am Kraft a very detailed email regarding why students chose her and the requirements she’ll need to pass for the deanship. The next day, she respectfully declined. Based on that, Ma’am Kraft cannot be our nominee since the nominee has to accept. We can’t find another person to nominate for the deanship since it’s clear that the student body really wants Ma’am Kraft talaga.
Andi: One, is it important that the dean is a faculty member? Does anyone want to manifest?
Belle: Sa ECONsult, I voted na it is important na if they are a faculty member, they would know what’s happening in UPSE more. After reading the responses, I realized that if we opened up our criteria, it will widen our options.
Andi: Does anyone agree to that?
Mario: Clarify first that oo importante na parte siya ng faculty. Historically, nagkaroon na tayo ng political appointees for Dean. For BA and Engg, there were more qualified people pero hindi sila kinuha, so I think na dapat galing Econ kasi alam na nila ‘yong nangyayari sa Econ. The fact is we need something efficient now kasi we’re in this weird transition stage. We need someone from the get-go na alam na ‘yong facult and staff and kung paano makikipag-interact sa community.
Shin: Agree with the points, may good point naman ‘yong differences.
Third: I think we can do with just not saying it explicitly. I don’t really think it’s a rubric in and on itself, and that it’s really not a big of an issue. I think we should focus more on the qualities that we actually want to see—qualities that are part of their character or competence. If there are qualities that make a faculty member more fitting for the deanship, then we should just focus on that instead.
Mario: Going back to what Shin said has had experience working with UPSE. Naka-work na niya ‘yong profs from UPSE. Pero palagi ko kasing naiisip is the fact kasi na to be part of the Econ faculty, assured ka na sa qualities nila. Worst case, may mga walang kwentang dean na ma-appoint because of political reasons, but I still think it’s a safeguard.
Shin: Naisip ko lang naman pero I’d like to get your take on it. If ever magkaroon ng appointed dean, kalian magsta-start ‘yong term nila?
Andi: Next year na ata. Let me check.
Shin: I was thinking rin na parang the logistical factor that they’re not well acquainted with the community and iba rin talaga ‘yong online interactions sa physical interactions.
Andi: Let’s proceed to the characteristics we’re looking for. Please state the characteristics tapos explain why.
Emman: If you say a certain trait, please be as specific as you can for the statement kasi the problem with writing statements is that it’s hard to make sure that it’s reflective of the body. One characteristic could be competent.
Mario: Substantial background in the field of Econ. Doon rin kasi nauugat ‘yong respeto ng faculty sa dean eh. That’s one aspect of competence we can look at.
Andi: Aside from substantial background, it’s also important that they’re someone who can deliver the responsibilities of the dean’s office.
JC: Adding lang sa unang part kasi nag-lag ako. For the first, gusto ko lang sabihin na I agree with Shin and Mario kasi I feel like marami pang kailangan gawin para ma-integrate ‘yong dean sa community. Other than that, ‘yong dean dapat visible in a way na we easily see them in events, transparent so that they’re able to easily and properly explain why they made certain decisions, and compassionate, when it comes to decision-making.
Jaro: I think that it’s important that the next dean is pro-student. In line ‘to with what JC said kanina, the Dean should be compassionate and pro-student when making crucial decisions. The Dean has to carefully weigh all aspects, hindi ‘yong parang china-cjampion niya lang ‘yong sa perspective ng faculty. We don’t want that, and we don’t want to compromise rin naman ‘yong quality ng school, so I think that it’s important ‘yong pro-student Dean.
Mario: Maybe we can structure this as top-down, we can group this later on a background basis, a platform basis, etc. Para when Emman makes his draft, he can see both he big picture and the more local ones.
Emman: Para mas malinis ‘yong flow niya.
Mario: I just wanted to add ‘yong on a managerial level, may clear goal for UPSE. Bullet point under pro-student, hindi lang student body focused but naba-balance niya lahat ng relevant parties sa school.
Shin: I think mine is just to build on the attributes ng competency, compassionate, and pro-student. Just to reiterate on the first point natin, I think mas okay rin na may teaching experience and student interaction experience ‘yong magiging dean kasi the bulk of the policies made talaga by the dean is mostly academic eh. I think it’s important talaga that they have teaching experience in UPSE.
Mitch: Para ma-quantify natin, are we going to put a relevant number of years of teaching experience?
Mario: I’m not sure if that’s necessary or effective. Gets ko naman, pero naiisip ko na that could be too limiting. I think we can look into that.
Andi: Does anyone have a direct response or manifestation regarding that?
Emman: Add lang kayo ng characteristics kasi may tatlong areas na nage-emerge, competence (good economist, managerial experience), visibility and transparency (resports and relevance in events), pro-student (compassionate, knows student issues).
Third: I think other than being pro-student, they should also be proactive. Especially since I’ve been working with grievances, I think a dean that is quick to work and takes initiative with regards to issues in the UPSE community is the best one we can have.
Andi: We have competent, visible, transparent, pro-student and pro-faculty/staff, someone with a goal for UPSE, someone with teaching experience, and proactive. Based on our discussion a while ago, the general consensus I got was that it should be someone from faculty. However, in addition to that, we are open to having someone else that is not part of the faculty as long as they take the
Mario: I don’t think we should say na okay lang from Econ, based on the ECONsult. For me, I think it’s important that the dean has to be a current faculty
Emman: I think that’s fair naman na we don’t explicitly say na faculty siya. We, then, lean on their experience.
Third: Agree with Mario and Emman. Like I said kanina, I think we should focus more on their other qualities, not just whether or not they’re members of the community.
Mario: POI to the body. In our statement, do we explain why we’re not nominating a specific person? Do we state pa that the primary candidate (Ma’am Kraft) did not accept our nominations?
Emman: I think ang suggestion ko kahit na hindi natin i-explain necessarily sa statement, pero we communicate separately sa mga batch reps if it’s possible. Explain the process and kung bakit ganito ‘yong naging structure.
Belle: Same thoughts with Emman. It would be weird if we don’t mention Ma’am Kraft. Maybe it’s best to have a text brig na lang explaining what happened and why we’re having this statement.
Andi: Let’s move on na from that. In the interest of time, we have to discuss na the points from Emman. Is there anything you want to work on more pa?
Emman: Do you think masyado bang constricting or masyado bang maluwag ‘yong napag-usapan nating criteria? Personally, ‘di ako sure kung saan ko ilalagay ‘yong knowledgeable on student culture.
Mario: Baka pwedeng isingit na lang natin sa third bullet ad work on that regard.
Emman: Naisip ko rin ‘yon pero sa tingin niyo ba masyado na bang naging restrictive? Can we make it more general without sacrificing the principles?
Andi: Is there an encompassing term that describes a candidate that can tend to student, faculty, and staff concerns without compromising one.
Shin: Pro-econ. Proactive and is able to make compromises that can uphold both student and faculty concerns.
Andi: Shin suggested to put proactive as an overarching term in place of pro-active.
Emman: We can put pro-Econ as the general term. Bullets under wit si pro-student, pro-faculty, and pro-staff and everything else gets weighed in on how we describe these bullet points.
Andi: Is there anything else we need to edit or remove?
Emman: Ako lang ba or masyado siyang specific para maging isa buong bullet? Kasi I think it might be too specific for it to become it’s own point. Should we put it na lang under the third point or just let it stand as a second point?
Andi: Suggestion ko lang maybe we can put it under the third point na lang kasi it’s kind of short but absorbable to the third point. Are there any last minute manifestations or comments?
Emman: Pasadahan ko lang kung ano generally maging angle nito as it is. Basically ang magiging itsura ng statement is what we’re looking for in terms of competence, kung credible ba siyang ekonomista and kaya ba niyang i-manage ‘yong UPSE. Second part is how should the nominee relate to the community (students, faculty, and staff). Under each area, doon natin ipapasok kung in what way should the Dean be pro-active sa community.
Andi: Is everyone okay with that? Can someone move to adopt this outline as the backbone for our statement?
[Motion] Mario: Motion to adopt this as a working outline sa magiging outline natin regarding dean nominations.
Mitch: I second the motion.
Andi: Does anyone object to the motion? This is officially our outline for the statement.
Other Matters
Emman: Today. March 31 is Transgender Day of Visibility. I’d like to read it out, then let’s vote on it na lang.
Andi: Heads up sa BRA and kay Mitch, I’m going to start asking if we can get reps from ASEO and batches for the consti rev. I’ll bump it by this weekend and next week kasi we need names as soon as possible.
