the RA has voted to remove the Chancellor. I personaly cannot accept this decision. I have worked in a great team with Alex since the beginning of the term and we have realized great things together: we have participated to events or exhibitions outside the CDS to promote it, we have improved the information (Calender, display), we have also spent a lot of energy to work on the project of website for the CDS and we are almost done in this matter. I would like to say how strategic and important is this project for our community. The design and the system are ready. I am currently working on the structure and the content.
All the reproaches against Alexicon can be easely explaned. The fact is that the RA did not make the verifications, before to take its decision. I was not asked to testify, as member of the Executif branch.
The CDS is not well organized in point of view of processus: nothing is well described, I remember that when we start our job, it was quiet hard to get information and the rights to act (groups). The RA should have taken its responsibility and face the real problems, instead to revoke a person who I consider as the best Chancellor and the most engaged I have ever seen since I am in CDS. He has involved at least 4 persons to work with him.
By taking this decision, the RA removed not only the Chancellor, but also his team. I consider that I am not anymore PIO. The new Chancellor has asked me to take again the charge. I have refused to show my solidarity to Alex. The only engagement that I take publicly it to continue to work on the website.
I hope that the community of CDS will be wise enough to find a solution to this inacceptable situation.
As I am candidate for a sit in the RA, I also take the engagement, if I am elected, to launch a project to describe processes and tasks of the CDS and to improve the way it functions.
