P-romotes a culture of excellence

international partners

These are integral characteristics etched in the PSU administration that make its
leadership shine in terms of PROBITY.

PSU governance promotes a culture of excellence evident in the fact that it

continues to subject itself with quality assurance mechanisms like the PQA, ISA, ISO,
AACCUP, among others.

It also synergistically works with its stakeholders as seen in its participatory

decision-making process. It also maintains a strong partnership with local, national, and
international agencies.

It upholds transparency, integrity, and the highest ideals as seen in a good number
of practices institutionalized by Dr. Buted himself like the No Collection Policy, the
President’s Hour, and the Open-Door Policy, among others.
