Dr. Oliver B. Sta. Ana
On 25 March 2013, Dr. Oliver B. Sta. Ana was appointed as University/College Vice President III taking the position of VPAA after a long search for a permanent appointee. He was the officer-in-charge of the College of Human Development at the time of his designation.

The VPAA has administrative supervision over academic units, including the undergraduate colleges, professional and graduate schools, and all off-campus programs under any of said units. While said academic units have invariably been placed under various responsible officers over time, like the University President and Executive Vice President, under BOR Resolution No. 3535 approved on 29 January 2013, the deans have been restored directly under the VPAA. Likewise, under his permanent line of authority are the academic-support units that serve the academic needs of said teaching units and their scholars.

Dr. Sta. Ana chairs the Faculty Selection Board (FSB) which screens the applicants for teaching positions. He reports administratively to the Executive Vice President (EVP), just like the other two vice presidents, the directors of specialized presidential centers and four (4) other system-wide officers.
