A special page will be opened on the faculty pages for international students.
3. Michal Pelíšek gave information on the meeting of the academic senate of Charles University.
   • Charles University supported the Belorussian students whose studies were terminated because they disapproved with the breaking of the legal/statutory period of the functional electoral period of the Belorussian Republic President.
   • The entrance examination results to Charles University – in 1999, 9 thousand students accepted, in 2000 10 thousand students accepted, in 2001 12 thousand students accepted. In the academic year 2001/2002 fewer students are enroled and Charles University will not keep up with the required increase, which will result in a lower subsidy for Charles University.
   • Charles University management is discussing the critical situation at the Catholic Theological Faculty. The CTF has at present no valid internal regulations – the submitted propositions were inconsistent with the laws of the Czech Republic and the senate and were not approved. The present senate terminated its electoral period and the new senate has not been elected yet.
   • The hall of residence rent is increased by 6 %, i.e. the average makes 30,– Kc per month.
   • The senate of Charles University approved the academic senate of the 2nd Faculty of Medicine proposal to change the Study and the Examination rules in the issue of a year repeating.
4. Michal Pelíšek asked the following points to be discussed with the Faculty management:
   • comments on the extending of a study year into 2 years.
   • a request to send the Dean´s comittee reports to the senate members.
   • a request to have telophones installed in small lecture halls.
