Mediation Committee for Contacts with Students

1. The purpose of the Mediation Committee at the Faculty of FAIS is to conduct activities that contribute to improving communication in the academic environment, including shaping an effective mechanism for resolving disputes through consultation and mediation, improving the teaching process and strengthening cooperation with the student community.

2. Methods of achieving the goal set for the Committee:

a) Monitoring the sense of security among students and employees of the Faculty;

b) Organizing meetings during the semester (in full or partial composition of the Committee) with groups of students reporting current problems arising in the teaching process or in academic life;

c) Providing students with information on how the problems they report can be solved;

d) Conducting consultations and forwarding applications on teaching matters to the appropriate Program Boards;

e) Cooperation with the Student Support and Adaptation Centre SOWA, 

f) the Rector's Representative for the Safety of Students and PhD Students and the Centre for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ARS Centre).

3. Principles of the Committee's operation:​

a) Students may report problems and motions within the competence of the Mediation Committee to any member of the Committee.

b) The Committee may meet in its entirety or in part. The nature of the meetings may be organisational or substantive, related to solving specific problems.

c) The Committee meeting is ordered by the chairman of the Committee on his own initiative or at the request of the person to whom the student's problem or motion was reported.

d) The chairman determines the required composition of the Committee meeting. At least 4 people must participate in the Committee meeting, including two Dean's Representatives for Evaluation and Quality of Education.

e) If the problem directly concerns the chairperson of the committee, the Committee meeting is ordered by one of the Dean's Representatives for Evaluation and Quality of Education.

f) A substantive committee meeting may be open. Students reporting problems or motions or all students may be invited to such a meeting. The subject of such meetings may be an explanation of the actions taken by the Committee, a discussion with the student community on particular or general topics, and others. Open meetings, available to all students, should be held at least once per semester.

g) The Committee prepares minutes of the meetings at its meetings. Due to the changing composition of the committee, a secretary is elected at each meeting to prepare the minutes.
