A university senate meeting on December 10 resulted in several decisions shaping the institution’s future.

Key Decisions and Updates

• Newly elected student government (HÖK) leadership received their mandates from Rector István Erős.
• The senate approved members of the university’s new Ethics Committee, comprising two students, two faculty, and one representative from the chancellery. Following resignations of two male members holding leadership roles, the committee now reflects a more balanced gender ratio and greater diversity in university roles. The renewed committee will immediately begin investigating new complaints, with regular updates shared via university channels.
• The soon-to-be-established November 25 Committee will review the Ethical Code governing the Ethics Committee’s operations.
• Boldizsár Hordós, a lecturer at MKE, proposed involving external experts in investigating recently announced complaints—a provision already allowed under the current Ethical Code.
• The senate approved the establishment of the November 25 Committee and its rules of procedure.

University Response to Recent Events

• Following a high-profile acquittal and student protests, Rector István Erős summarized leadership decisions and outcomes. Multiple domestic universities have expressed interest in learning from the November 25 Committee’s work, leading to the formation of a joint working group to enhance student safety.
• The university leadership supports the student-driven "cleansing process," committing to thorough and individual review of all complaints, with regular progress updates.
• Increasing reports are being submitted via the November 25 INFO complaint platform.
• The possibility of introducing an independent university ombudsman is under review.
• The list of mentor teachers providing informal support to students has expanded with new members.

Additional Senate Actions

• During the meeting, a small group of students staged a silent protest in the stairwell to oppose a submission titled "Statement on Unworthy Tone Toward the University." The submission was removed from the agenda at the Department Heads’ Council’s recommendation, with plans to issue a joint statement later in collaboration with the Student Government.
• The senate amended the Demonstrator Regulations.
• New delegated members were elected to the MKE Quality Assurance Council.
• The senate addressed modifications to the Faculty and Researcher Performance Evaluation System (OKTER) questionnaire.
