As per the following provision of your Education Act:
— Begin quote from ____
SECTION 3. The Chancellor
1.(a) The University of the East Pacific shall be administered by the Chancellor.
(b) Each Chancellor shall serve a term of 4 months and can be reelected for one
successive term.
(c) The Chancellor will be elected by the Council of Holders by majority vote. Any citizen of
the East Pacific can be candidate.
(d) The resigning Chancellor will organize this election.
— End quote
Holders, you will have to vote on the candidates. As of now, there’s a 48-hour period for Citizens/Holders to post their candidacies in this thread. Any Citizen can be candidate. After said period, we will as Board take a decision by majority vote.
If no candidates step forward, I’m willing to go for a new term myself.
Well, I’d like to be Chancellor. I’ve got a vision for the university as more than just the library. It should have seminars and research projects, as well as become the stepping stone from new citizen to Magister extraordinaire.
Shouldn’t the Viceroy oversee this election? “Section 4) The Arbiters shall elect from amongst themselves for a term of six months a Viceroy, who shall oversee the proceedings of the Conclave and administrate all elections in the East Pacific and represent the Conclave to the Magisterium and the Delegate.”
(d) The resigning Chancellor will organize this election.
— End quote
You can try this law for review by the Concordat, but until such time it can be followed. I don’t see why you would though, as it doesn’t matter for your candidacy and one can argue it’s easier to let the Chancellor handle this. Moreover, it’s not a region-wide election, but a simple majority vote among the board of Holders.
The 48-hour period for candidacies is hereby closed. Two candidates have presented themselves:
Old Federalia
Unibot
In order to give both candidates a fair chance to present their vision to the Board, they are allowed to present a platform in the http://theeastpacific.com/forum/3588/ for another 48 hours, after which the Council of Holders will decide on a candidate by majority vote. Since we have two candidates, I will not seek re-election.
The current members of the Council are Prussia (Holder of the Faculty of NationStates and Strategic Studies), Aelitia (Holder of the Faculty of Worldly, Fantasy & Mystery Studies) and Hobbes (Holder of the Faculty of Law and Political Science).
Voting will be initiated in 48 hours in this thread. The candidate securing 2 or more votes will be appointed Chancellor.
I would like to vote for the person with what I believe the clearest campaign was-
I vote Unibot, but with a suggestion that OF should be named as vice chancellor.
I would like to see all of the Uni campaign promises delivered, and some of the training programs suggested by OF; and I think the pair of you will do a very good job with the University.
