Statement of the Election Commission on the issue of lecturers without generated election voucher
In the course of the election, several lecturers contacted the election commission to inform them that the election voucher was not delivered to them. In all cases, these were employees classified in the L1 category.
The Commission examined the applicable regulations and noted the following:
- Rector's measure 56/2021 stipulates that L1 does not belong to the academic staff in the sense of §70 of the Higher Education Act
- §3 of the Higher Education Act stipulates that members of the academic community are academic staff and students
- Article 6, paragraph 1 of the FSV UK Election Rules states that all members of the academic cummunity have the right to vote.
It follows from the above that employees classified in the L1 category do not currently have voting rights for elections to the AS FSV UK.
The Election Commission appeals to the AS FSV UK to check the situation of the lecturers classified in the L1 category regarding their active/passive voting rights before the announcement of the next elections.

The meaning of the Academic senate and importance of elections
The Academic Senate of FSV UK is the key controlling institution of the Faculty. Through the Academic Senate you can influence the running of your faculty, just like in any other political election.
It is composed of ten students and ten teachers. Senators and senators look under the hands of the faculty management, checking, for example, the preparation of the budget, management, but also the quality of teaching. For example, it is important for the student academic community that the student chamber of the Academic Senate distributes money to student societies. From this money, students can then organise various events that may not even be directly related to their studies. Whether it is a sports day, a beer pentathlon or debates with various interesting guests, student money always comes in handy when organising.
In addition, the Senate deals with matters directly related to study. Currently, the Study Committee has been dealing with the quality of studies for Ukrainian students for a long time, and the same committee also regularly analyses feedback from students. The Senate also works closely together in the development of the timetable for each academic year, trying to accommodate students as much as possible.
However, the Academic Senators are not unknown to students. Each of them also acts as a liaison between students and the faculty management. As a body, the Senate is a support for students and helps to solve their problems. For example, the Social Commission is in charge of the student ombudsmen project, which was created specifically to improve conditions for students and teachers, but theSocial Comission has also created, for example, a communication decalogue.
