He has a vision for the renewal of the that, in my judgment, serves the best interests of the university. teaching of law that makes room for the latest conceptual advances in In 1993, the Faculty Regent Dr. Perla Santos-Ocampo cast the the other disciplines. His solid scholarship in the field as evidenced by deciding vote that made Dr. Emil Javier U.P. president. We all thought his numerous papers and published essays cannot be doubted. Neither she completely ignored the voice of the faculty. But we also knew that can his commitment to the college. He has always been a full-time the ultimateappointingauthority was the Board of Regents.
