๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ | The VPAA Rejects Appeal to Shift Classes to Asynchronous Modality on August 11, 2026
The Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA) has again rejected the Adamson University Student Government's (AUSG) appeal to shift classes to asynchronous learning modality tomorrow, August 11, 2026.
In response, the VPAA mentioned that various options were discussed among the Academic Administrators, including the possibility of shifting to asynchronous modality. However, after careful consideration, the decision was firm to proceed with synchronous classes.
This decision was reached in consideration of the need to maintain continuity and effectiveness in the teaching and learning process, particularly for courses and learning activities that require real-time interaction, discussion, consultation, demonstration, and immediate feedback between faculty members and students.
As an alternative response to the appeal, Memo No. 38, S. 2026, issued earlier in response to the previous appeal, will still continue to provide appropriate consideration to students who are not able to participate in class due to internet connectivity issues caused by the inclement weather.
The University therefore does not intend to disregard or diminish the difficulties being experienced by students whose communities have been affected by flooding, power interruptions, and connectivity problems. Rather, the University seeks to address these concerns while also ensuring that students who are able and prepared to participate in synchronous classes are given the opportunity to continue their learning as effectively as possible.
The AUSG will continue to speak for the student body, especially at times when students' welfare and concerns are the utmost priority in circumstances beyond their control.
