CHED grants Silliman
autonomous status

The Commission on Higher Education has granted an autonomous status to Silliman University in Dumaguete City for five years, from March 11, 2009 to March 30, 2014, a press release from the school said.

This is the third consecutive time that Silliman has been granted full autonomy. In his letter, CHED chairman Emmanuel Angeles lauded Silliman, citing its accomplishments, adherence to quality assurance, and commitment to public responsibility and accountability as a higher education provider in receiving the distinction.

An autonomous status, which is given to a select number of private higher education institutions in the Philippines, recognizes Silliman’s ability to independently develop and offer quality programs that respond to the demands of time, the press release said.

Silliman considers this distinction a challenge to further enhance its programs and services along its quad-focal functions of instruction, research, extension, and faith formation.

This complements its thrust of widening its network of partners in the country and abroad, the press release added.*

I'm caught out on this one a little. One family member is a Silliman alumna and another is a current student.

I was under the impression that CHED was a regulator of post-secondary institutes of learning. I now discover that its mandate extends only to privately owned entities, I'm further advised that "trade" type schools are regulated by another agency.

Now you tell me that Silliman (and perhaps others too?) have been granted an autonomous status. What's left for the regulator to regulate?

Thanks. I found what I needed and bookmarked the URL you gave for my future reference. It's more than a little ironic that a Dumaguete native working in Canada advises the Canadian living in Dumaguete.

Again my thanks and a greeting from Summer!
