Why the DoFE?

[Simfan34]

I voted, you silly goose!

[Oakvale]

You listed Simfan twice.

I think it was Oakvale who missed the vote.

Yes it was, my apologies. Regardless, I would have voted in favour and am glad to see this passed handily.

Simfan, the President's question pertains to an time that originated with the first version of the text. Therefore you can best answer why the official in question was selected to handle that duty.

Ah, okay.

But wait, hasn't this become law? But out of good will, I will note that as the senior official over foreign affairs, the SoEA is uniquely qualified to assess the merits of overseas academic institutions.

^^^ I beleive this is the clause in question. You selected the Department of Federal Elections for that task, and it seems to be an odd choice.

Yes, this has passed into law I believe. But if there is a problem, we should move to fix it at the earliest possible opportunity.

I'll introduce an amendment to the bill changing "DoFE" to "DoEA" if that would be helpful...? (In the Legislation Introduction thread)

Yea, that would probably be the best course.
