Police is now preparing the charges against the two suspects for possession of illegal drugs and other violations under Republic Act 9165.
The suspects were arrested while having a pot session in Barangay Piapi last Wednesday.
The barangay is identified by the police as one of the drug hotspots in the province.
Garcia explained that one of those arrested already retired from the university and the other is under contractual status.
He added that the arrest was made at the residence of the retired faculty and is outside of the premises of the university campus.
"Silliman University regrets to confirm that a former employee and a current one have been arrested by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) for alleged violation of the Dangerous Drugs Act of the Philippines" Garcia said.
Garcia said Silliman does not condone any act that is contrary to law and public morals.
The internationally known SU is located right at the heart of Dumaguete City. It is established in August 28, 1901 by Protestant missionaries of the Presbyterian Church in the United States with the efforts of Dr. Horace B. Silliman, thus making it the first Protestant school founded in the Philippines and the oldest American University in Asia.
At present it holds a total population of 6,000 students and 500 faculty members.
