The
Crown appoints the Chancellor to be the executive officer of RUSH. The Chancellor
presides over its business meetings and makes final decisions on policy. Assisting
the Chancellor are the other RUSH Officers and Regents. As a body, these people
constitute the Board of Regents, RUSH’s governing body, which meets at
every Kingdom RUSH session and also as needed.
The Provost is the chief administrative assistant to the Chancellor and is secretary
to the Board of Regents. This person is also responsible for collecting student
and instructor feedback and summarizing it for instructors and the Board.
The Registrar maintains a list of all courses taught, checks completed degrees
for accuracy and recommends graduation to the Chancellor; maintains a database
of graduates and degrees received. The Bursar handles all RUSH money, keeps
the financial records, and issues reports to the Kingdom Treasurer, the Chancellor,
and RUSH Board.
The Constable is the safety, security, and on-site information officer of RUSH.
The Virtual Scribe maintains the RUSH website and is the Board’s computer
and technology resource.
Calontir is divided into geographic regions, each of which has its own Regent.
These Regents are responsible for sessions held on their campuses, providing
information about RUSH, and facilitating acquisition of RUSH credit.
Other Regents
function outside the geographic boundaries. The Dean of the Royal Academy of
Calontir (DRAC) promotes and coordinates children’s educational activities
at Kingdom RUSH sessions.
Many of these officers appoint deputies to assist them in their work. If you
are interested in becoming a part of the RUSH Board, send a letter to the Chancellor
or to the officer whose job you would like to learn. Watch for announcements
of Board openings in the MEWS and on the website.
