The Board of Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies (AIIAS) met last May 8, 2014 at AIIAS Campus and made some important decisions on faculty ranking and academic programs. The board also reviewed the AIIAS strategic plan.
Upon the recommendation of the Seminary and the Ranking Committee the Board voted to advance Remwil Tornalejo to the rank of assistant professor, Cristian Dumitrescu to the rank of associate professor, Mathilde Frey to associate professor, and Carlos Mora to the rank of professor. Mora is asked to chair the Biblical Studies Department for another 3 year term.
The board also reviewed the job descriptions for the Deans of the Seminary and Graduate School and voted that they would be considered full time deans with the understanding that they would teach at least two classes a year for their school.
The Board also considered the recommendations for changes to the AIIAS programs and classes and these were all approved along with the new Bulletin. The Board further recommended to the International Board of Education the Master of Ministry Distance Learning Center for Northern Luzon Mission in the Philippines and Papua Mission in Indonesia. Another highlight of this meeting is the presence of Adventist World Church president, Pastor Ted Wilson who addressed the members of the Board.
