Mindanao university ordered to close law programs

-
  The Legal Education Board (LEB) has ordered the Mindanao State University to close its law programs in all its campuses starting academic year 2025-2026 after it approved a resolution canceling MSU’s accreditation. The order stemmed from MSU’s refusal to recognize LEB’s supervisory authority and for asserting that it is not bound by the board’s orders, policies and guidelines on legal education. “The MSU is no longer authorized to offer the basic law program in the country,”  the LEB said. The board made permanent the cease and desist order it issued against MSU’s extension law programs on its campuses in Tawi-Tawi, Sulu and Maguindanao. It expressed concern over what it described as MSU’s “dismal” performance in the Bar examinations, noting the school’s passing rate since 2013 has been below the national passing percentage.

 SUGGESTED ANSWERS TO THE2020/21 BAR EXAMINATIONS INCOMMERCIAL LAW | Question No. 13 



#CommercialLaw #PreviousBarQuestions 


A university refused an award-winning journalist’s request for a copy of a senatorial candidate’s transcript of grades on the ground that it would violate Republic Act No. 10173, or the Data Privacy Act of 2021. The journalist, however, argued that the candidate’s whole life should be subject to scrutiny by the voting public.

Is the university’s position legally tenable? Explain briefly. 


SUGGESTED ANSWER:

The university’s position is not legally tenable. It is true that the senatorial candidate’s transcript of grades relates to education. As such, it may be considered sensitive personal information (Section 3 (l) of the Data Privacy Act). 


However, personal information processed for journalistic purposes is a matter outside the application of the Data Privacy Act (Section 4 (d)). 


Since the senatorial candidate is a public figure and his academic record is relevant to the public debate surrounding his candidacy and there is a public interest in his fitness for public office, this falls squarely within the journalistic exception of the Data Privacy Act.
