CHEd chief: DND-UP accord ‘problematic’

The controversial agreement between the state university and the Defense department was “destined to be problematic” as vague provisions in the 31-year-old pact, which bars police and military presence in its campuses, were prone to different interpretations, the chief of the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) said on Friday.

“[I] assert that the implementation of the DND-UP Accord was destined to be problematic,” CHEd Chairman Prospero de Vera 3rd said in a statement.
