MANILA, Philippines – “Academic dishonesty has no place in a university that prides itself in promoting honor and excellence,” said the University of the Philippines School of Economics Student Council in a statement in response to the acquittal of several students who reportedly cheated on an exam.
However, when the cases reached the office of UP president Danilo Concepcion, he decided to overturn the verdict for one of the cases and acquit one of the students of academic dishonesty. Sean Angelo Thakur, UP Diliman University Student Council chair, blasted the acquittal and ensured that they will take the necessary steps to hold the erring students accountable.
“Integrity serves as the foundation for honor and excellence, and in order for this foundation to remain intact, there must be no question that the highest governing body of the university will uphold its policies and champion intellectual honesty,” the UPSE Student Council concluded.
UP is a beacon of excellence with honor. Dishonesty in any form has no place in its august academic halls. May the Iskos and Iskas bring this personal integrity beyond the halls of UP and into PHL society.
