The College of Law held a formal stakeholder consultation on April 29, 2024 at the Board Room to
discuss the proposed tuition and miscellaneous fee adjustments for Academic Year 2024–2025. The
meeting was attended by representatives from the administration, faculty, alumni, and students.

Chaired by Vice President for Finance Reginald Libang, the consultation presented the breakdown of proposed fee changes, including College of Law specific fees such as the introduction of a Clinical Legal Education (CLEP) Fund, clarification of ExamSoft subscription costs, retention of the Bar Operations Fund, and discussions on the deferment of test material fees. Students raised concerns regarding library resources, athletic fees, and facility improvements, all of which were acknowledged and addressed by the administration.

A key highlight was the planned salary standardization for law faculty, a measure intended to enhance instructional quality and faculty retention. Students expressed understanding and support for this initiative, highlighting the importance of consistent and effective teaching.

Overall, the consultation reflected CCDC’s continuing commitment to participatory decision-making, where students are engaged as partners in shaping academic and financial policies. By fostering open communication and shared responsibility, the college reinforces a culture of accountability and ensures that policies remain responsive to the needs of its community.
