University of Unity

The University of Unity (UoU) is a small alliance on the Blue sphere. It was founded on November 7, 2010.

History


Section I – Admission
Enrolling at The University of Unity (or gaining membership) is considered a great honor. Even as an Alumnus, University members should show their alliance-pride by wearing their letter jackets, bragging to others how they started on The University of Unity’s football team, and/or wearing school colors.

-In order to gain admission to The University of Unity, a nation must first change its Alliance Affiliation to ‘The University of Unity’ and apply at the official forum of The University of Unity. (http://university.maghion.com/forums/index.php)

-The nation joining is expected to read and understand the charter and follow the guidelines as written.

-As soon as a nation’s application is processed and accepted, the nation is then enrolled and is granted the title of ‘Freshman’.

Section II – Alliance Roles
There are several different roles a nation can fill at The University of Unity. However there are some ground rules.

A. Student

-Each member is a student until she or he graduates with a certain Grade Point Average (GPA).

-Each member starts out as a Freshman and advances through the “years” through acts of activity, loyalty and effort. A solid Freshman should be able to go onto their Sophomore “year” in 3 months’ time. An ‘acceptable’ GPA for moving onto the next level is a 2.5.

-Every Saturday each member will be graded on their activity and effort they put into The University of Unity. The grading will be done by the Professors of The University of Unity. The grading will be done using letter grades (A, B, C, D, & F) and using a 4.0 grading-scale. (All A’s = 4.0, All B’s = 3.0, All C’s = 2.0, etc)

-If a student feels that she/he are being graded unfairly, the student may file a complaint with the Dean of Admissions, the Vice President or The President. If one or all of these individuals decide that the grading is unfair, they will give the student a grade that they deem acceptable.

-After a student graduates, they can go back and pursue different degrees (such as a doctrine). The grading will be done the same for these extra degrees.

B. Professor

-A student is promoted to a Professor by the President, Vice President or Dean of Admissions. The student will still be a student (assuming she/he has not graduated yet) while also taking up the tasks as a professor.

-The Professor’s task is to assess students’ activity and effort each week. A letter grade is to be handed out for both Activity and Effort.

-The Professor may ask for assistance when grading a student

-The Professor is subject for demotion if the Professor is failing his/her classes (effort/activity) or for any reason that the Dean of Admissions, Vice President or President see fit.

C. Graduates

-Once a student graduates, they have the freedom to go out and explore whatever else is out in Planet Bob, or they have the option to stay in The University of Unity and help as a staff member or re-enroll for another degree.

-Graduating from The University of Unity should be considered one of the highest honors on Planet Bob, for it would take ~1 year for a member to do so. During the graduation the member will receive the highest of honors and will receive their choice of 800 tech or $24 million for their hard work and dedication to their alliance.

D. Frat Party Leaders

-Each Defensive Battalion will be separated by “Frats”. Each ‘Frat’ will have a leader. It is the responsibility of the Frat Party Leaders to make sure that their pledges are signed-in and are constantly prepared for war.
