UP community unites in defending academic freedom

Concepcion

MANILA – University of the Philippines top officials, faculty members and students condemned the Department of National Defense’s unilateral termination of 1989 UP-DND Accord, saying the move infringes on academic freedom.
In a protest action today, Jan. 19, at the Quezon Hall of UP Diliman, UP President Danilo L. Concepcion said Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana’s letter was “a nightmare that interrupted his peaceful sleep.”
