Did the business school have better outcomes with new processes/procedures?

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

I have not been teaching for the last several months because of my inability to comply with the 7 days deadline for the submission of grades after the end of sem;  and rightly so.  Some erring profs were sent memo for their insubordination even those who were on foreign travels.

It is just a big disappointment too that 2 years ago in  faculty conference in Alabang, the incoming leaders were asked as to what was the elephant in the room -  (every one anticipated that the Loyola people would replace the current staff) and the managers were silent and non committal.  Today  they are doing just that - to replace the current faculty with doctorate and academicians.

I asked the current faculty, the chair of the panel which I attended (I braved the horrendous traffic just to attend to this chore, to honor the panel and the students defending their strama) said that as a whole the school is doing well but not the GSB.  Enrollment is down, the good professors have joined the rival schools.   DLS has moved to BGC;  what is the move of the school?  (Nawala strama for the grand moves/strategy to be competitive;   baka irrelevant ang mga new policies, nitty pricky or rubbed the ertswhile strength of the GSB - the professional at work profs  (whom I understand are happy with their consultancy work or businesses)

The teaching days are over

I do not expect to post more articles here nor in the NU12 (Entrepnew) blogs/self dev/FB pages. My academic stint has ended albeit unceremoniously because of my apparent inability to comply with new policy on 7 days grade submission after end of semester. I have a day job, and so with the students. We are both working professionals. (Hence the name Professional School) I could not go on perpetual state of insubordination with the administration. The cluster chair wrote me a letter agreeing to my giving up. (interpretation as a resignation. I did not expressly say though that I am resigning)

However, I heard from the grapevine that the administration relented to a cluster request to submit grades after one month, and that the edict should be disregarded by the cluster There are many new rules according to other faculty that are not in writing. However, meeting request must be in writing. (Hard copy) Emails are not answered. (Hearsay again. I am not to be quoted)

I could not care less because I have other interest, and I have done my best while in the care of the academe.

Now it is over. All that they have to do is do nothing (not renewing my 90 days contract) However, I could not help but think aloud.

I thank the former Dean and the administration for the 13 wonderful years of teaching.
