REPORT OF THE STUDENT REGENT ON THE 1289th BOR MEETING

On the Renaming of the UP Diliman CBA to the Virata School of Business

The issue was yet again discussed under the matters arising from the minutes. Staff Regent Ramirez

presented the sectoral regents position paper alongside the signed petition and a personal letter from

the President of the UPAA in America.

Majority of the members voted to reopen the decision and will be subjected to further discussion. As a

result, the renaming has been held in abeyance until the concerns are addressed.

Until such time, the Student Regent would like to call on the UP community to remain involved in this

issue. The office is open for dialogues and discussions from all stakeholders involved.
