We the tenured faculty of the Philosophy Department would like to express our strong objection to the hiring on a permanent basis of our colleague, Dr. Jeremiah Joven Joaquin. As a body tasked to discuss the matter of whether a faculty should join us for the long haul we have met twice to consider the case of Dr. Joaquin.
First on the matter of hiring, the departmental decision, reached by consensus, should carry the most weight. Dr. Joaquin, who has been with the department since 2006, we have had ample opportunity to assess his contributions and compatibility with our unit. HIs contributions are mixed, and the negative influence of his presence far outweighs his competencies. We unanimously believe that his hiring on a permanent basis would result in long term harm to our department.
Second the decisive factor in our decision not to recommend Dr. Joaquin concerns a matter not extraneous to his professional work. His actions towards a former student crossed the boundaries of propriety that undermined, simultaneously, not only his working relations with students known to him at the time, but also with other members of the academic community who were privy to his actiions. In light of a previous case in 2009. concerning his extramarital affair with a colleague - for whihc he had already been given dispensation - we cannot help but conclude that he is a recidivist.
