Finally, three are the candidates who are opting for the Balearic University
Rectorial Elections. On March 28 the Electoral Commission announced the
candidatures presented by
Avel·lí
Blasco Esteve (Administrative Law Professor),
Pere
Deyà Serra, (Organic Chemistry Professor) and
Llorenç
Valverde Garcia, (Mathematics and Computer Science Professor). The
three candidates have electoral web pages where they present their programme
and team, except for Llorenç Valverde who states "My team is all
the university community". The election campaign, which has already begun
with several speeches by the candidates, will end on April 9 and the elections
will be held on April 11. If none of the candidates obtains more than 50%
of the votes, on April 30 there will be a second round.
The votes for the Rectorial Elections is balanced between the different
areas of the university community: 51% for full professors, 12 % for the
rest of teachers and researchers, 25% for students and 12% for administrative
and service employees.
The winner of the elections will substitute Llorenç Huguet, who
has been the Rector of the University for eight years. Some months ago,
the current Rector was elected as President of Sa Nostra and his replacement
as head of the UIB will end this peculiar situation of holding two offices
simultaneously.
