The Grand Chancellor of the University and Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, Cardinal Luis Antonio Gokim Tagle, who announced this appointment to Prof. Sileo, thanked the Rector for his work during the first term, which was also affected by the effects of the pandemic and the reorganization of teaching in the manner provided for by the anti-contagion measures.
