Re: AUP Election
I appeal to the NPUC president and Chair of the AUP Board of Trustees, Pastor Neph Mañez. Please return the slate of newly-elected AUP officers back to the drawing boards. So many SEC stipulations and regulations have been violated and there's no need for me to re-enumerate each violation starting with pre-selecting instead of electing, as the SEC requires, all officers and members of the board by the constituency. Reporting the same to the proper government authority, the SEC in particular, will not only result in stiff penalties for church officials but can cause much embarrassment for all of us ordinary members.
I beg you, please appoint a Search Committee composed of three or up to five qualified Seventh-day Adventist members, including one independent, non-church employed constituent. If all possible candidates for AUP president were to be excluded from the same committee, as well as the Board of Trustees so they cannot vote themselves into office, then please do not make an exception of your union Executive Secretary and Vice-chair of the Board of Trustees. And, last but not least, please make sure the Corporate Secretary or Compliance Officer (legal adviser) does h/er job of ensuring strict compliance with all SEC rules and regulations.
Doing this may not be the only means of restoring alumni confidence in our NPUC leadership but, in my humble opinion, it will go a long way in preventing more people from losing trust in our system of governing the church organization and its institutions.
Sincerely,
Joselito A. Coo, BA '67, MA '69

Hi colleagues, friends, and AUP alumni:
May I implore everyone that instead of discourses we kneel and pray to seek God's guidance for our dear AUP.
Can we as alumni come to an agreement for united seasons of prayer? May I ask the three presidents for EASNAC, AWESNA, and PI (local) to call for alumni globally and set a day for seasons of prayer for AUP.
Until we ask the Lord for forgiveness and humility every discussions or discourses we pose will be in vain.
What can we do to help AUP our dear Alma Mater? She (AUP) needs our prayers. The Lord can do miracles and make the impossible possible
if we only will hold on to His hand and seek His wisdom. Let us lay aside Politics and let God lead.
He who leans on, trusts in, and is confident of his own mind and heart is a [self-confident] fool, but he who walks in skillful and godly Wisdom shall be delivered. Proverbs 28: 26
Thank you.

To Nephtali Manez, Chairman
AUP Board
The AUP board replaced the AUP president for no apparent reason. Is it possible that you have chosen to crucify AUP's CEO in order to be able to align your alliances in the Conference? Only eternity will reveal the reasons and the consequences of the actions you took.
Once again, it is the university and the constituency that it serves that will absorb the dislocation you and the AUP Board created. The university will survive, but the wound and the scar will we there.
Look at the history of the university. There are incomplete projects and programs. Each new CEO will have to go through a learning curve. After one has a better idea of how things works. Here comes the political decision from the board to replace the CEO.
The University is suffering because of the very high turnover of its CEO.
You have a sick system with its inherited colonial mentality. It replaces the CEO at the drop of a hat.
The university deserves a mature and stable leadership. Instability is counter productive.
