The academic society have to discuss the problem whether information about candidates for elected functions in the state university, especially for functions of the rector and dean are their own matter or it ought to be public information. The question must be answered whether information about such candidates should be presented in the main Internet site of the university and adequately in sites of departments or in the staff’s sites or candidates’ personal sites. Moreover, it is necessary to answer the question whether the information about the existence of the candidate’s site should be available for all interested persons in the main university site as well department sites or only for the staff by means of the staff service – the Intranet. The second discussed problem is independence and transparency of elections carried out by election panels, i.e. the use of the possibilities of the Internet to inform the interested members of the public about elections, candidates and election results.
