The Search Committee, constituted through Administrative Order No. CCC 2020-008 dated 5 November 2020, is now actively conducting a search process for the next Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), UP Visayas. The Search Committee is a fact finding committee whose job is to ensure that there are enough qualified nominees for the position; gather all information considered useful for decision-making; and provide a frank assessment of the nominees’ suitability for the position (1198th BOR Meeting, 28 July 2005). The search committee, however, cannot rank nor indicate its preference among qualified nominees.
