They insisted that the issue does not interfere with the university’s mission of providing high-quality education.

Asst. Prof. Dimaapi stated that every faculty ensures that their faculty members, regardless of modality, delivers quality education. He added that each professor, given a particular subject to teach, has a degree and competence in that area. Hence, Assoc. Prof. Mesina clarified that a lack of professors is not a shortage.

The university is implementing a strict selection process for both general and major subject professors. Recruitment is still ongoing and the hiring process is under the new standard of qualifications.
