We focus on these: Faculty Rights, Well-being and Working Conditions
1. Propose to refurbish the Faculty Lounge to make it worth its name: a comfortable place where teachers can take a break and reenergize, with amenities like air-conditioning, a coffee corner, wifi spots, lounging sofas, TV and meeting/discussion area for academic and related purposes.
2. Espouse improve working conditions through measures such as de-clogging of teacher’s routine tasks from unnecessary paper works (e.g. encoding of master lists) in order to allow faculty to concentrate on the essentials. Along this line, we will support the immediate and complete computerization and electronic networking of the student record system and the University’s entire documentation and communication processes.

6. Collaborate with non-teaching sectors in utilizing resources for income generating ventures.

1. Work for the increased rationalization of the faculty promotion scheme as a mechanism of empowering the teaching force (If promotion is delivered at doorsteps like in other universities in Bicol, why can’t CSU do the same?)
