�Yes� votes dominate in the Codified Rules for Student Regent Selection (CRSRS) referendum.
Based on the final results, out of the 47, 365 students in the UP system, more than 55 percent or 26,
118 participated in the referendum. 19, 068 or more than 73 percent voted �Yes�
while 6, 747 or almost 26 percent voted �No�.
To present Student Regent, Hon. Shahana Abdulwahid, the referendum was a success. She said, in an article published by the Philippine Collegian, �Isang kolektibong tagumpay ang naganap na referendum. Muling napatunayan ng mga estudyante na hindi sila apathetic at handa nilang proteksyunan ang mga institusyong sila rin ang nagtaguyod.�
To those who campaigned for �Yes�, it was also a victory.

Isang Iskolar ng Bayan sa Ika-Isandaang Taon ng Unibersidad
Mula sa pagtataas ng matrikula at iba pang bayarin, hanggang sa rekonstruksyon ng ilang mga kolehiyo, mga patakaran o polisiya hinggil sa trapiko at iba pa, nabalot ng maraming pagbabago ang Unibersidad ng Pilipinas nitong mga nagdaang taon.

Base sa mga arkitektural na transpormasyong ito, masasabing nagbago o nagbabago na ang mukha ng Unibersidad. Ngunit ito ay isa lamang bahagi ng mukha ng UP.
Upang ganap na malaman kung nagbago na ang mukha ng unibersidad, kailangang tingnan ang pinakamalaki at pinakamahalagang parte nito, ang estudyante o mag-aaral.
