History of the University of Los Santos San Andreas

 

The history of the University of Los Santos, San Andreas starts in 1919 when Assembly Bill 626 was signed into law, which turned the facilities of the San Andreas State Normal School into the Southern Branch of the University of Los Santos. After moving to its new campus in Richman in 1927 it was renamed ULSA and has since expanded to become a leading world university.

The Present

ULSA university prides itself in being one of the nations leading centers of academic excellence. Featuring regularly in the nations top 50, it boasts a faculty that includes several award winning experts, a nobel prize winner and the support staff to ensure students receive the very best of American education. Not only that, ULSA university demonstrates an impressive sports facility, frequently featured on national TV and is home to the famous ULSA Beavers team. 

 

In recent months, the almost instant departure of it's seating Chancellor and leadership team along with the replacement of incoming Chancellor, Sophia Hamilton has led many to question as to what caused this seemingly instant disruption. Rumors of Scandal seemingly hushed and as of yet, fervently denied.

 

OOC

 

The remainder of this post is OOC and describes what our faction offers, is about and as a legal faction, expected behavior. This thread and below posts will be updated over the coming weeks as we complete our online registration forms and install a leadership team to support the upcoming academic year.

 

ULSA - Vision

 

The vision of the faction is to create an alternative to illegal factions where where people can roleplay as legal (mostly!), characters in an American University culture within GTA:World.

 

A focus on lifestyle: Even in the real world, students spend on average less than 5 hours per day in lectures on campus. This leaves a large amount of time for students to become part of University life. While education will be part of ULSA RP, it will not be the sole and only focus. 

 

This isn’t limited to, but the focus will be on creating RP both within the ULSA community and the wider Legal world of GTA:W  by creating links of interaction, dependencies and opportunities between both governmental bodies and affiliated businesses.

 

Whether this be sports & cheer-team try outs, sunset beach parties, camping excursions, fraternities, loud, late night parties which have the neighbors complaining or just quiet milk shakes & a donut down at your local business, the focus is for ULSA members to have fun and enjoy their walk through university culture.


Student Enrollment / Faculty Careers

 

In time we expect to move a lot of our processes to a ULSA website, however in the meantime this is being managed via our discord channel (See link below).

 

We are accepting students for the upcoming academic year as well as faculty members interested in a career where they will help shape the future of our states most prestigious university.

 

Potential students should fill out the student application form and people interested in a career at ULSA university would be best to express interest in faculty recruitment or contact Chancellor Baker or one of her cabinet for more details.

 

Education

 

The focus on education is to provide fun for all parties involved. No-one wants to sit still for an hour in silence while being lectured to, so any formal education will have an emphasis on player engagement rather than sitting silent and being dictated to for an hour.

 

In addition to formal education, ULSA will seek to drive cross faction RP by a process of experience days where students & faculty will arrange and attend work experience and educational activities with third parties. This may include a student spending an hour or two a week with the Medical or Fire departments, or perhaps an aspiring journalist might request from the faculty the opportunity of spending some time with one of the news networks.

 

Additionally, there will be the opportunity for guest speakers to visit the university and possibilities for the university to host external events such as hosting a political rally or address from the city Mayor.

 

ULSA Faction Leadership

 

With a faction focus to university lifestyle,  ULSA will be led by a combination of the Student Union President and Chancellor of ULSA University along with their respective seconds. The two branches of Student and Faculty will work together to bring compelling and enjoyable roleplay for those wishing to take part in both Student and Faculty run events at ULSA.

 

It is intended that these roles will be filled with players demonstrating both excellent roleplay ability and a willingness to invest time in arranging and facilitating events for ULSA university.

 

ULSA Board

The faction will be run by a board of 4 players consisting of both Faculty and Student leaders and their seconds. Both the Faculty and Student bodies will be supported internally by their respective Student Union Representatives and Faculty Cabinet.

 

Player Behaviour

Legal Faction

ULSA is a legal faction. This means that your character is expected to behave in a primarily legal manner.

 

The faction accepts that students will sometimes go a little astray, so fairly minor offenses are likely to be overlooked at an OOC level (such as underage drinking, minor recreational drug use, attempting to fake 21+ ID's). These will carry IC punishments if discovered rather than OOC ones. 

 

For more serious crimes, if your character has a criminal record and a list of offenses such as murder, extortion, serious drug offenses, sexual assault etc, then your request to join the faction will be denied. If occurring post acceptance these are grounds for immediate expulsion / dismissal. 

 

Background

Consider your background when creating your character. Being young at university, it's expected that most students will not have access to the funds to afford high performance cards and houses. In fact, you're far more likely to be in a mountain of student debt, desperate for a part time job to help fund your way through University. Without even considering living costs and rent, fee's at UCLA are over $13k per year. Add to that the cost of living in one of the worlds most expensive cities for ~4 years and it's very easy to see how most graduates are paying off debt well into their 30's.

 

To that end, when making a character for ULSA, consider this and think what a reasonable amount of cash would be for you to have. Are you a rich prep? If so, then you might have a nicer car and clothes than most of your peers (while mommy and daddy fund your exuberant lifestyle), but even preps tend not to their own homes and are far more likely to be living with a fraternity.

Key Vacancies
I'd like to keep as much of our university setup IC and RP'd where possible. Please direct interest to myself of Chancellor Shultz.

This means that there is a rare and exciting opportunity for anyone wishing to partake in legal faction RP that involves the the setup of the ULSA project. They will have a large amount of autonomy in there role and where we are unable to RP IC and need to resort to OOC discussions with Admins etc, they'll be kept up to date with any conversations that have taken place by either myself or Chancellor Shultz.


Any applicant must be willing to dedicate this role as their primary character and they must declare if they have characters in other factions as this is likely to be of concern unless concessions are granted.
 

Additionally, it is expected that any applicant will have both an extremely good Admin record as well as no criminal history. (We'll let parking tickets go!).
 

Vice Chancellor of Legal Affairs.
The setup at ULSA will include working with Property Management and Local Government alongside the University board and Chancellor of Business & Finance to agree the contracts for the purchasing / leasing of University Buildings as well as working with architects to arrange University Internals. 


Additionally, this role will be responsible for managing legal queries / responsibilities and obligations of the day to day running of the faction.
