In the second round of voting, Luděk Bláha, the current vice-dean for doctoral studies at the Faculty of Science, was elected as the candidate for dean of the Faculty of Science at Masaryk University. He received 18 out of a total of 26 votes.
The Academic Senate of the Faculty of Science selected a candidate for dean on Monday, October 20, from three names. Luděk Bláha, Michal Bulant, and Karel Kubíček were running for the position of dean. All three graduated from the Faculty of Science and work there.
