The Galactic Republic University

The Galactic Republic University​

The Galactic Republic University is all the remains of the once prestigious University of Coruscant. Started by the original faculty of UC, the GRU was moved to the new capital planet Onderon, but with a greatly expanded mandate of offering a wide range of educational subjects to ALL members of the Galaxy regardless of their allegiance.

Students of every species, every planet, and every political alignment are welcome to attend, provided they are accepted.

Organization​

The GRU has a very formal and complex hierarchy that has been in place for thousands of years since its time on Coruscant. It is very closely adhered to and revered throughout the galaxy as one of the most respectable organizations in history.

The Board of Governors: A group of very influential, but mysterious individuals who govern the finances and hold final say over all matters at the University. They are all appointed by the Prime Minister of the Galactic Republic and confirmed by the Senate, but have come from all species and walks of life. They number at 151 with one among them serving as Chairman.

The President of the Galactic Republic University: Appointed by the Board this person holds complete authority over University administration. The current University President is a member of the mysterious "Yoda species" named Targon Paramithian. He has overseen the operations of the University for over 700 years and holds a Doctorate in all but one of the Cardinal Colleges.

The Cardinal Provosts: Under the President is the Cardinal Council of Provosts, the individual administrators who oversee each of the Six Cardinal Colleges. They have almost complete authority over their individual colleges and together they advise the President on matters concerning the University.

The College Deans: Within each Cardinal College are a collection of lesser colleges devoted to specific fields of study such as medicine, law, and history. Each of these subordinate colleges has a Dean who oversees the faculty of each discipline. There are over 100 of these faculty members.

Department Chairs: Within each Discipline are a number of subjects, each chaired by a member of the Faculty.

Professors: These members are of the teaching staff are tenured and of the highest rank.

Fellows: These are visiting members of the staff with all the privileges afforded to full professors.

Assistant Professors: These professors do not have tenure.

Instructors: These are the lower tier educators and typically teach only remedial subjects.
