UST welcomes CHED resolution on TFI fund disbursement
Manila Bulletin
|May 11, 2025
The University of Santo Tomas (UST) on Saturday, May 10, expressed support for a resolution issued by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), which it views as confirmation of its compliance with legal standards in the allocation of Tuition Fee Increase (TFI) funds.
UST welcomed the CHED resolution as recognition of its “good faith compliance” with legal obligations governing the use of TFI funds, in accordance with Republic Act No. 6728 and CHED guidelines.
The University emphasized that its long-standing practice of releasing TFI funds upon ratification of a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) ensures equitable distribution and provides a clear legal framework to avoid future disputes—aligned with both jurisprudence and principles of equity.
CHED has formally deferred to the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) regarding the ongoing dispute between UST and the UST Faculty Union (USTFU) over the release of 70 percent of TFI proceeds collected for Academic Years 2021-2024.
