how we take on procedures. We are getting to

o There will be a team that will be gathered to update.
o Minimum of 5 administrators will be appointed.
 Will be under the CAA or until organization is established.
o Questions:
 Remo: Under Sanggunian?
o Sison: No indication. Agree on it as a CB.
o Copoyuc: Not approved yet. Debate on it.
 Elicaño: Can make it like a task force.
 Copuyuc: Under Sanggu because of CAA.
 Remo: Do you really want our name to be there?
We work with professors. Not comfortable with it.
 Reyes: It is an avenue for constituents’ voices.
It’s in our mandate.
 Agatep: We are here to make sure that there is
an avenue. We are not the one promulgating.
 Chan: We should clarify that Sanggu is liable.
 Lucero: The moment we sponsor, we are
accountable.
 Albiento: Nice service, but fear of the basis of
choosing subject will be teacher only. Suggest
course decision.
 Sison: Can be a way for teachers to change.
Another way of getting feedback.
 Vega: Ateneans are smart enough to know that
teachers are not the only the factor in
determining the success of a student in a
subject/class.
 Zapata: Reggie Blue we are leading it. Very
subjective.
 Remo: Avenue to express themselves. Will this
help us? Is this a Medium of forum? If we put it
online and the name of the Sanggu is there, it
might be construed differently.
 Reyes: Really subjective. Opinionated. Website
is a sense of organization. Students bash
teachers. There will be administrators that will
filter.
 Alejo: There are ways to put up a website
without, needing comments from students. Use
ratings, star ratings. Subjective, but will
balanced out. Will be based on different
people.
 Gumaru: Good that we are helping students.
Culture that teacher will be the only basis for
choosing certain subject. Better if curriculum is
there.
 Mundin: Are we trying to cultivate a culture of
Ateneans to comment on teachers? For CAA,
are they going to eliminate teacher evals?
 Sison: Students will capture Reggie Blue in a
lighter sense.
 Remo: Personal basis. Draw line between forum
and what is valid.
 Sison: Calansanz is in favor that it will be worked
on by students only.
 Vega: Teachers will be curious to read it, since
not all read evaluations.
 Gumaru: Sounds like AISIS. What will happen to
AISIS evals? Develop AISIS to make it like the
Reggie Blue.
 Chan: AISIS vs. Reggie Blue. AISIS is reaching out
to teachers. Reggie Blue is for students.
 Sison: Reggie Blue is not there to manipulate the
minds of students. In terms of teacher only.
 Gives informed information, if they will risk.
Makes informed decision.
 Copuyoc: If this is not approved, it won’t
happen.
 Remo: It should not prevent you, if not
approved. If it provides informed choice, it is
filtered.
 Chan: Approving this means Sanggu is
approving it.
