V. Policy Matters for Decision of the Board

D. U.P. Diliman's Proposed Revisions on the "Up-or-Out" Rule and Tenure 
   Rules Based on the Recommendations of the University Council Committee 
   on Faculty Development, Conduct and Welfare

The U.P. Diliman University Council at its 98th meeting held on 6 December 
 2006 approved the following proposed revisions on the "up-or-out" rule 
 and the tenure policy based on the recommendations of the UC Committee on 
 Faculty Development, Conduct and Welfare:

a. On the "up-or-out" policy. Faculty members who are not able to comply 
   with the "up-or-out" rule may reapply after completing their masteral or 
   advanced degrees. They may be considered among the pool of applications; 
   no automatic rehiring.

b. On the tenure policy. Faculty members who are note able to fulfill 
   requirements for tenure within the prescribed period may be considered 
   for rehiring under meritorious cases.

It is understood, however, that those rehired under "meritorious cases" 
 shall be covered by the BOR-approved minimum requirements for rehiring 
 of other CUs.

Board action: Approved
