The University of the Philippines-Diliman has chosen a new chancellor, a mathematician, for 2020 until 2023.

UP president Danilo Concepcion, UP Board of Regents co-chairperson, said Dr. Fidel Nemenzo, the current UP-Diliman vice chancellor for research and development, will replace Dr. Michael Tan.

Nemenzo is the 10th UP-Diliman chancellor.

The Board of Regents came up with a resolution last Feb. 3 during its 1,350th meeting after a thorough selection process conducted by a multi-sectoral search committee.

“Our victory is the victory for all of us. I know you are all here not to fight for me but to fight for UP. You are here for academic freedom [and] democratic governance, [and] for the voice of the community to be heard in important decisions of the BoR,” Nemenzo told the students and faculty members.

He is a professor of the UP Institute of Mathematics since 1992.
