Das Kolloquium

[Mad_Gadfly]

For those who are interested in expanding their knowledge.
​

Introduction: Das Kolloquium is an organization started by Leuthar van Vichten in the year 308 A.C. as a means to encourage academic participation among commoners and nobility alike. The organization doubles as a research institution and will hold seminars on discoveries, but its primary focus is to hire professors who will teach others about their craft. It is expected that professors will be able to help each other in their research or expeditions.

Structure of the Kolloquium
​

The Kolloquium is divided into Colleges, of which there are three. The first college is the College of History, the second college is the College of the Arts, and the final college is the College of Language. The Colleges are themselves divided into specific schools, based on the possible disciplines that are either available for study or research. The Colleges and their respective Schools are as follows:

1. College of History:
   • School of Ancient History
   • School of Ceardian History
   • School of Draconic History
   • School of Elven History
   • School of Sariyd History
   • School of Varran History
   • School of Sihai History
   • School of Imperial Essa History
   • School of pre-Exodus Orken History
   • School of pre-Imperial Regalian History
   • School of Unionist History
   • School of Pagan History
   • School of Legal History
   • School of Diplomatic History
   • School of Trade History
2. College of the Arts:
   • School of Visual Arts
   • School of Music
   • School of Urban Design
   • School of Fashion
3. College of Language:
   • School of Literature
   • School of Imperial Standard Common
   • School of Proto-Regalian
   • School of Sofaal
   • School of Old Ceardian
   • School of Proto-Daen
   • School of Twi Dialects
   • School of Ancient Altalar
   • School of Dragon Script
   • School of the Meraic Alphabet
   • School of the Seraph Dialect

More schools can be created by a majority vote of the professors of that college. More colleges can be created by a majority vote of all professors. These votes are held in the Scholastic Senate, which is reserves the following rights:

• The right to elect a Senate President.
  • If the Senate President is unable to attend a Senate meeting, the Senate may vote to elect a temporary Senate President so that the meeting may continue.
• The right to organize research expeditions.
• The right to approve expenses exceeding 10,000 regals.
• The right to censor discoveries.
• The right to restrict discoveries to certain students or members of the government.
• The right to approve publications germane to the Kolloquium written by students or professors.
• The right to put students and professors under probation by a majority vote.
  • The Senate President may then decide to eject the student or professor.
  • To be placed on probation four times shall result in an automatic ejection.
  • The person ejected may then appeal their ejection to the Senate President.
  • The Scholastic Senate may overrule the decision of the Senate President with a two-thirds majority to either revoke or uphold the ejection.
  • Professors may be placed under instant probation by the Senate President after two warnings during the same Senate meeting.
• Failure to attend two Senate meetings without a valid excuse shall be grounds for ejection.

Duties of Professors

You do not need to be a scholar to be a professor.
​

We encourage in-game research, so you will be teaching others about things you learned in-character. We prefer that you do this instead of just repeating what is already on the wiki. Therefore, these are the duties of professors:

• Professors must not metagame knowledge.
• Professors must be active players, or they will be replaced.
• Professors must find at least 5 students to teach every week. It does not matter if the student is already receiving classes from other professors.
• Professors must hold weekly "classes". These classes can be structured however the professor wants, meaning that the professor might prepare speeches or simply have a conversation with their students on the topic.
• Professors must attend the bimonthly Senate meetings.

It should be noted that Professors may also call for a Senate meeting if they publicly announce it with at least one other Professor.

Privileges of Students
​

Even though anyone can attend lessons, students are those who have formally committed to attending the classes of at least one professor every week. As a reward for their commitment, students are afforded the following privileges:

• The right to assist their Professor in their personal projects related to research and academia.
• The right to vote on behalf of their Professor at Senate meetings when their Professor is absent.
• The right to access censored discoveries from the Kolloquium.
• The right to attend Kolloquium-only events.
• Priority admission in Kolloquium expeditions.
