Note this is again a draft and changes are expected.

Dream University

Charter

The goal of the Dream University is to deliver quality Teaching that embraces and reflects the path and potential of the individual Student using all available resources and best practices.

Rules:
Any role or responsibility assumed is voluntary.
Teachers (including Deans) have the right to decide whom they wish to educate. This includes the right do deny quests and even aid to anyone they see fit. Receiving an education is not a right, but an honor.
Abuse of Power will lead to immediate demotion from the University
Violent acts at the University or events should be avoided. Please make sure that all aggressive acts are kept away from teachers and students while they are engaged in Teaching. Disciplinary actions can be determined by the Deans.
Rulers of Houses are not allowed to apply for a seat in the Panel of Deans and are therefore excluded from the elections.


Roles & Responsibilities

Panel of Deans (Rulers)
The Panel of Deans consists of five Teachers who form the guiding body and are sworn to uphold and abide by the Charter of the University.
Their responsibility is to implement and foster projects, while leading by example in a proactive manner for the University.
There will be a Dean on the Panel for Willpower (Earth), Insight (Air), Resilience (Water), Lucidity (Fire) and Dreamsoul (Spirit).
All members of the Panel of Deans are allowed to vote on all proposals made.
Only the Panel of Deans is allowed to vote on proposals that would change or impact the Charter.

Election process for the Panel of Deans
The election process will be held once every four weeks for any seats that are open or approaching their end of term.

The Panel will post a public announcement listing approved nominees for each seat. Their reasons for accepting or rejecting nominations will be included.

The voting period shall last for one week after the public announcement is made. All approved members (Students, Deans and Diplomats) of the University are eligible to vote. The outcome will again be publicly announced.


Seat of Spirit
Any Dreamer (even one without a halo) can nominate himself for the seat of Spirit by writing a codex and submitting it to the current members of the Panel of Deans.

When elected, the Dean for the seat of Spirit will take up his responsibilities immediately for a period of at least twelve weeks, after which he will lay down his position as soon as a replacement is found by the election process.

A Dreamer cannot be nomintated for the seat of Spirit again for a period of at least four weeks, after which the Dreamer again becomes eligible.

Seats of Earth, Air, Water and Fire
Any Teacher can nominate himself for the seat of Earth, Air, Water or Fire by writing a codex and submitting it to the current members of the Panel of Deans. Preference will be given to nominees of the appropriate Focus for each seat. If none or not enough Dreamers of the appropriate Focus are available for a given seat, all nominees for that seat will be considered.

When elected, a Dean for the seat of Earth, Air, Water or Fire will take up his responsibilities immediately for a period of at least sixteen weeks, after which he will lay down his position as soon as a replacement is found by the election process.

A Dreamer cannot apply as a Dean for the seat of Earth, Air, Water or Fire again for a period of at least sixteen weeks, after which the Dreamer again becomes eligible.

Absence
A seat will be considered open if the Dean is absent without notice for four weeks.

Advisors (Elders)
Act as advisors for the Panel of Deans.

Diplomats of the University (Any role)
A Diplomat is appointed by the Panel of Deans and acts as an ambassador towards the Houses, to keep up with their policies and stances.

Teachers (Guardians/Full members)
Any Teacher with a halo can submit a request for a Teaching position to the Panel of Deans.
After approval and an initial assessment period of four weeks, a Teacher will be publicly instated as a Teacher of the University.
Teachers are allowed to invite any Dreamer as a guest Teacher, whether that Dreamer has a halo or not, in order to teach, explain or give additional lectures on subjects fitting to that class.

All Teachers are allowed to vote on all proposals made, except proposals that would change or impact the Charter.

Assistant Teacher
An Assistant Teacher is similar to an apprentice but can be mentored by any Teacher whereas an apprentice must be under a Master Teacher. An Assistant Teacher can be trained in the same manner as an apprentice and will be viewed as an apprentice, under the standard rules and expectations for apprentices. Only one Assistant Teacher or apprentice may be mentored at any given time.

Students (Initiates)
