Harmonizing policies in research and extension of Cebu Normal University: A governance archetype

Anchoring the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, this study harmonized the policies in research and extension of Cebu Normal University, a Higher Education Institution (HEI) in the Philippines, towards an archetype that will help align, aid and operationalize governance based on the existing laws, guidelines, rules, regulations and the like. As such, the research is a policy-excavation on the available issuances and/or instruments, for example, the constitution as a legal framework, legislative enactments, executive orders/dicta of statesmen, resolutions, memorandum circulars, special orders, and similar documents by authorities that are subject to the widest dissemination, information and proper guidance that are not contrary to law, setting the strategic directions in compliance with the goals set-forth by the university. Referencing policies, Cebu Normal University commits in the delivery of research and extension that advances public interest concerning the community and all stakeholders concerned. This all the more proves that Cebu Normal University adheres on the minimum-maximum requirement of the policies therein, thereby recommending an archetype in governance that will intensify the programs and/or initiatives undertaken by the university.
