ST.

GEORGE UNIVERSITY

TIME CONTEXT

Over the past few years turned out to be the most challenging moments in the history of
St.George University with the worsening economic conditions in the country, the university is
seeing a slow consistent decrease in enrolment. A number of students are transfering to other
Universities; good and professionally competent faculty members are "moonlighting" in other
institutions of higher learning; salary rates are uncompetitive and its once modern facilities have
aged with time. Furthermore, there is low morale among teachers and students and the
leadership of top and midle school administrators appears to be "wanting", thus causing
relationship to turn sour. As a result, one or two course programs were removed from the
university brochure. these precarious concerns cause administrators, faculty, students, staff,
and alumni grave trepidations.

CONCLUSIONS

St. George University's facing the main difficulty is such that the "moonlighting" of its
faculty members which means holding a second job in addition to a regular one. Uncompetitive
and low salary rates are the primary cause. These may results to the absence of highly
competitive professors that university have. There is a low-morale among teachers and students
and there is lack of leadership of top and middle school administrators. Aged university's
facilities might be the reason why students driven to find and transferring to other schools.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

rates of university faculty members. Currently, first step is to review the salary rates and should
be taken together on implementing the ways to improve salaries. Conducting assesment by the
university should be taken in increasing salary rates.After those processes ,evaluation of its
