                   1.3.  Other Important Laws Guiding IFSU
                                 In addition to the IFSU Charter, the following laws are pertinent to the proper operation
                          and management of the university:

                   1.3.1.  REPUBLIC ACT 8292
                          (Signed into Law in 1998)

                          AN ACT PROVIDING FOR THE UNIFORM COMPOSITION AND POWER OF THE GOVERNING
                          BOARDS (GBs), THE MANNER OF APPPOINTMENT AND TERMS OF OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENTS
                          OF CHARTERED STATE UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES

                                 Otherwise known as the “Higher Education Modernization Act of 1997”, this act modifies
                          the  composition  of  the  Governing  Boards  (GBs)  of  State  Universities  and  Colleges  (SUCs)  in
                          order to achieve a more coordinated and integrated system of higher education, render them
                          more  effective  in  the  formulation  and  implementation  of  policies  of  higher  education,  and
                          provide more relevant direction in their governance.
                                 The law clearly specified the composition of the GBs of SUCs, their powers and duties
                          along with the selection and terms of offices of the members.
                                 It aims to complement existing charters of SUCs.

                   1.3.2.  CHED Memorandum Order 03, s. 2001

                          IMPLEMENTING RULES AND REGULATIONS (IRR) FOR REPUBLIC ACT 8292 AND ITS REVISED

                          PURPOSES.

                                 This IRR clearly emphasized the Governing Boards (GBs) of chartered state universities
                          and colleges, their composition, manner of appointment, term of office, meetings and quorum,
                          compensation and other related matters.

                   1.3.3.  REPUBLIC ACT 7722
                          (Signed into Law in 1994)

                          AN  ACT  CREATING  THE  COMMISSION  ON  HIGHER  EDUCATION  (CHED)  APPROPRIATING
                          FUNDS THEREOF AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES

                                 Otherwise  known  as  the  “Higher  Education  Act  of  1994”,  this  act  created  the
                          Commission  on  Higher  Education  (CHED)  through  which  the  state  shall  protect,  foster  and
                          promote  the  rights  of  all  citizens  to  affordable  quality  education  at  all  levels  and  shall  take
                          appropriate  steps  to  ensure  that  education  is  accessible  to  all.    It  shall  be  independent  and
                          separate  from  the  Department  of  Education  Culture  and  Sports  (DECS)  but  attached  to  the
                          Office of the President of the Republic of the Philippines for Administrative purposes only.
                                 The CHED was given supervisory power over SUCs in ensuring compliance to quality and
                          standards of their educational programs. The law automatically empowers the Chairman of the
                          CHED or his duly authorized representative to sit as Chairman of the SUCs Governing Boards
                          including IFSU’s Board of Regents (BORs).
