CHED Employees Allege Fear, Favoritism, and Wasted Resources Under Agrupis

Commission on Higher Education (CHED) employees have reportedly filed administrative and ethics complaints against Chairperson Shirley C. Agrupis, accusing her of abusing her authority and cultivating what they describe as a climate of fear inside the agency.

The claim has cast a long shadow over the complaints, fueling worry that the allegations against Agrupis will be quietly ...
