ANNEX “A” - ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

Changes from the Existing Organizational Structure
There are major changes in the organizational structure of the University. From the existing structure
(per BOR No. 604 s. 2016), the following are the proposed changes:

1. New Office of the Vice President
The Office of the Vice President for Planning, Finance, and Resource Generation (VP-PFRG) was created in
the proposed organizational structure.
Its creation was deemed necessary to assist the University President in some major areas of general
administration and support services. With their creation, some service departments were transferred from
the Office of the President to the VP-PFRG while some were newly created as discussed in the succeeding
sections.

2. New Units Created
Some service departments were created as a result of the strategic planning process wherein new strategies
prompted the need for these units to carry out the planned programs and activities. They are as follows:
a. Department of Capacity Development (DCD);
b. Department of Communication, Public and Information Affairs (DCPIA); and
c. Department of Environmental Protection and Conservation (DEPC) which includes functions in Risk
Reduction and Disaster Coordination (RRDC).

3. Units Transferred
The service departments that were transferred as deemed best based on the Strategic Plan are the following:
a. Department of Finance Services (DFS);
b. Department of Planning and Information Management (DPIM);
c. Department of Income Generating Projects (DIGP);
d. Gender and Development Research Resource Center (GADRRC); and
e. Department of Infrastructure and Site Development (DISD).

The DFS, which used to be under the VP for Administration was transferred under the VP for Planning,
Finance, and Resource Generation. The DPIM, DIGP, and GADRRC which were within the direct supervision of
the Office of the President were transferred to the VP-PFRG. The DISD which was also under the Office of the
President was transferred to the VPA.

Reasons for the Transfer:
a. The DFS was transferred from the office of the VPA to the office of the VPPFRG basically to strengthen
the link between planning and budgeting which was identified as one of the weaknesses in general
administration.
b. The DPIM and the DIGP are normally under the Office of the VP-PFRG. For the GADRRC, a realization
was made that most of its function is to ensure the mainstreaming of GAD in the programs and activities of the
University.
c. The Department of Infrastructure and Site Development was transferred to the VPA for the reason
that the department is the implementing unit of planned programs for infrastructure and development.

4. Abolished Unit
The advisory body, Research Council, was deleted from the organizational structure and was agreed that it
will become University Research Committee in accordance to the provision of the University Charter wherein,
the only advisory bodies to the University President are the Administrative Council and the Academic Council.

5. Formerly Sections of a Department changed to Departments
Some sections of departments in the existing structure were made departments because of the bulk of
workload in these sections which roles having great impact in the achievement of the major development
goals of the University. These are:
a. Department of Human Resources and Development (DHRD)
b. Department of Alumni Affairs (DAA)
c. Department of Legal Services (DLeS)
