Airah Cadiogan Nominated as UP Student Regent

Outgoing University Student Council Vice Chair and the Current STAND-UP (Student Alliance for the Advancement of Democratic Rights in UP) Chairperson Airah Cadiogan has been nominated to succeed Ms. Shahana Abdulwahid as UP’s next Student Regent.

Her name was forwarded by UP Sining at Lipunan, a CMC based organization, during last week’s League of College Council meeting (which Ms Cadiogan herself presided).

On March 17, there would be a CMC college assembly to deliberate Cadiogan’s nomination. By March 20, the University Search Committee should be able to file its recommendations for the unit nominee to the Office of the Student Regent.

Aside from Cadiogan, Mark Titus Cebreros from the College of Law has also been nominated. Asked about having another Titus as her ‘co-nominee’ (she said she prefers this term over ‘opponent’), Cadiogan said: “Oo nga. God really has a sense of humor.”

The Student Regent is the lone student representative to the UP Board of Regent (BOR).The BOR is the highest policy making body of the UP system. The UP system-wide Student Regent selection would be on April 14-15 at UP Visayas – Miag-ao. The Katipunan ng Mga Sangguniang Mag-aaral sa UP (KASAMA sa UP would be facilitating the selection process. #
