CMU expresses confidence on governance of Mayor Sandoval

Published Dec 23, 2022 02:06 pm

The City of Malabon University (CMU) has expressed confidence on the governance of Malabon City Mayor Jeannie Sandoval following her initiatives in addressing the unpaid salaries of some faculty members and staff of the school.

In a statement on Wednesday, Dec. 21, the CMU said the mayor has been facilitating the immediate release of the unpaid salaries of some of the university’s professors and staff who experienced a two-month delay (from May to June 2022) in their pay, while still ensuring the protection and judicious use of public funds.

It added that the present administration is conducting examinations and investigations to resolve the issue regarding some of the faculty members and staff who were contracted for projects without proper documentation.

“The local government of Malabon has been diligently monitoring all activities to ensure all backlogs are cleared. Operational reforms and new policies have likewise been instituted. Moreover, despite the huge financial impact resulting from CMU’s delisting from CHED (Commission on Higher Education) due to the previous administration’s non-compliance, the new administration under Mayor Jeannie is still allotting substantial funds for the purchase of a Human Resource (HR) Information System to remedy all HR related transactions,” the CMU said.

On Oct. 13, Sandoval demanded for an immediate investigation on the unpaid salaries of the CMU professors after receiving reports regarding the issue.

In September, the mayor also vowed to resolve the university’s delistment from CHED’s Unified Student Financial Assistance System for Tertiary Education (UNIFAST) program.

Through the UNIFAST program, the city government said the CMU received subsidies from the national government to allow students to study for free.

However, Sandoval earlier said that the university was removed from the program due to the failure of the previous administration to submit necessary financial report documents for the past three years.

She said that the removal of the educational institution from UNIFAST will force the students to pay for tuition which should have been free.

The city government on Friday, Dec. 23, said it continues its investigation on the unpaid salaries of the CMU personnel as well as the removal of the university from the UNIFAST list while submitting the required documents to CHED.

Meanwhile, the CMU said that its faculty and staff are also confident on the enhancements of the policies and procedures instituted by the newly appointed CMU president Dr. Glen de Leon.

“There is full cooperation from CMU’s faculty and staff in the ongoing remedial efforts and everyone has high hopes for the year ahead,” the educational institution added.

The CMU (originally known as Malabon Community College) was established in 1994 to provide the local residents of Malabon with affordable means of acquiring higher education, according to cityofmalabonuniversity.edu.ph. It aims to develop competent city scholars through transformative leadership and innovative education.
