Academic and research
Research direction, source standards, output quality and academic integrity.
GOVERNANCE & ACCOUNTABILITY
Clear responsibilities. Lasting trust.
The Mantic Arts development plan separates education operations from research, standards and competency assessment, with conflict recusals and independent review. Commercial revenue supports knowledge production while academic decisions retain independence.
FRAMEWORK / 2026.09The learning pathways, assessment standards and governance arrangements are development proposals. Opening dates, responsible entities and effective versions will be published for each program.
01
Who is responsible for what
- Mantic Arts Academy · Education
- Curriculum, teaching and knowledge products. Each offering must name its service provider, payment recipient and contract terms.
- Institute · Research and assessment
- Research, standards, assessment and ethics. The legal issuer and independent assessment responsibilities must be established before launch.
- Library · Public knowledge
- The arts atlas, history, glossary and source index, with attention to provenance, versions and corrections.
- Verify · Verification and accountability
- Receives credential-verification and correction requests. Public verification should disclose only necessary information.
- These names describe brand functions. This website does not yet list verified Hong Kong registration, charitable status or external accreditation. Published entity records, agreements and effective rules will identify specific service responsibilities.
02
Four governance functions
Assessment and quality
Competency standards, assessment quality, issuance and supervision, separated from sales interests.
Ethics and complaints
Complaints, risk and disciplinary processes within remit, with separate appeals.
Audit and conflicts
Related-party transactions, resource use, independence and disclosure.
- These are proposed functions, not a roster of appointed officers. Committee formation and personal disclosures require confirmation before publication.
03
Make conflicts visible and manageable
- Education and research-assessment functions should account, contract and decide separately, with transparent related-party prices and purposes.
- Reviewers disclose teaching, employment, investment, family and other relationships that may affect judgment.
- Commercial returns come from education operations. Restricted funds for proposed research and public projects must follow their agreed purposes and cannot be distributed to founders or investors.
- Founders and core instructors are subject to the same assessment, recusal and disciplinary processes.
- Investment, donations and fees cannot purchase academic conclusions, passes or disciplinary exemptions.
- Original decision-makers recuse from appeals; decisions and reasons are retained.
