Dear colleagues
After a brief break, I have been granted the honor of addressing you once again – this time, as the Chair of the Electoral and Mandate Committee of the Academic Senate. The month of November marks the beginning of the “long shift” of the Committee, converging towards one of the most challenging tasks bestowed upon us as the Academic Senate – the election of the Dean of the Faculty of Arts. The election process will span from November to mid-January, with ample information about its course available at every point.
The election itself, along with its definitive terms and specifications, will be officially announced at the Senate session on November 8th. The deadline for official applications of the candidates will be set for November 30th. Throughout December, all candidates will meet with Academic Senate to present and discuss their programs – naturally, with the academic public being cordially invited. Finally, the election itself will take place in January. The Dean is elected by both Chambers of the Senate at once, and the candidates need to achieve a simple majority in the Senate to be elected. The dates of public debates, programs of the candidates, and all other information can be found on a special webpage.
As the Electoral and Mandate Committee, we now stand before a daunting task of the practical execution of the election – a task, however, that we were all aware of while accepting our seats in the Committee. In a broader sense, this is a serious task for the Academic Senate as such, as it will, to a large degree, be deciding about the future of the Faculty of Arts for another four years. As a Chair of the Committee, I would like to assure you that we will carefully oversee that the entire process is carried out in a spirit of fair play, equality of opportunities for all candidates, and impartiality. As a senator, I firmly believe that each one of us will cast a vote to the best of our knowledge and belief and that the best candidate shall win.
Best wishes
Chair of the Electoral and Mandate Committee of AS FF MU

On 13 and 14 October 2021, two events presenting mobility opportunities (not only) within the Erasmus+ program took place at the MU Faculty of Arts. Don't be sad if you couldn't attend for any reason - you missed the opportunity to taste authentic Japanese okonomiyaki, but at least the video from the online event and both presentations can be found on the web. Erasmus Days are held every year, so don't miss them next time!
