The University of The East Pacific is divided into multiple archives, libraries, and colleges. The main University center is the New Leganes Repository, an evergrowing collection of works created since the revival of the University on 22 July 2020, under Delegate Marrabuk. It is named after former Chancellor New Leganes, a legendary former University leader. The New Leganes Repository is divided itself into subject-area "Colleges" to further organize the myriad of content the University holds.

The Bachtendekuppen Memorial Library holds pre-2020 University content, from when the University would host actual "classes", as well as copies of important historical documents not explicitly made for the University. To this end, the Bachtendekuppen Memorial Library serves as a University-specific archive of historical works and documents. It is named after Bachtendekuppen, a former Delegate of The East Pacific who created the first Ministry of Education, founded the University of The East Pacific through the authorship of the first Education Act, and contributed greatly to historical records within the University. The Bachtendekuppen Memorial Library is divided into Historical Documents and University Archives.

The Eastern Pacific News Service Archives seek to document all news reports, articles, and releases of the EPNS and all other Eastern Pacific news organizations or ministries over the entire history of The East Pacific. Currently, EPNS releases a new edition once per month under the Ministry of News, in the Eastern Pacific News Service nation. EPNS archives will be linked within UTEP for the sake of centralized knowledge, but not replicated.

The Statesmus Project is an ambitious initiative which would link UTEP to foreign regional institutions, keeping detailed records on the history of all involved regions, as well as essayist works from all member regions and contributions from foreigners. The goal is to consolidate the vast and untamable knowledge of NationStates into one location.

DEAR EASTERNERS,

On November 1, 2021, I was named Chancellor of The University of The East Pacific, succeeding the great New Leganes, a Chancellor whose efforts were commended by the World Assembly Security Council. From this date onward, I did my best to fill those great shoes, until June 15, 2022, when I was elected Delegate, and had to pass on the baton to the next Chancellor.

Since me, there have been two Chancellors, and then, for at least the duration of the last government term of four months, although the exact time is difficult to ascertain, there was no Chancellor at the helm of the University. There was, however, activity. Sparse. Isolated. But real. I’d like to thank The Fourth Imperium for his papers on Nuclear Strategy, and Evrigenis for his efforts within the Weekly Questions medium, for keeping the University alive, though its heart beat is faint, and its pulse is fading.

Now, once again, I have been named the Chancellor of UTEP. When last I held this office, I inherited a vibrant, lively community of writers and thinkers from all over The East Pacific. Now, almost two years later, I have inherited a quiet wasteland. New Leganes brought us the foundation for success, but we have lost their spirit of change and evolution, and in doing so, we have lost the spirit of the University itself.

In 2021, I had a Five Step Plan for the University. Now, my plan is much grander. The Plan for Educational Engagement, or PEE, sets out to make up for the lack of evolution of the past and to revive the spirit of the Leganesian UTEP era at the same time. It will be difficult. I may not be able to accomplish it. But I certainly cannot accomplish it alone. I need the help of the visionaries and hard workers of our modern government – Merlovich, Vussul, Loreintor, New Leganes, and more.

Most importantly I need the help of ordinary people like you. The RPers of Valsora and Urth, the chatters of the RMB and Discord general server, the issue answerers and those curious about the World Assembly, the foreigners who are interested in our region, the people who want to join government but didn’t know how or when, the people who’ve always wanted to share ideas they’ve had, or spread knowledge they have. UTEP is a space for everyone. UTEP is a space for you.

As has long been tradition and structure, UTEP is first and foremost a repository of knowledge and discussion. It is not an educational institution in the sense where you sit down and listen as someone lectures. It’s a marketplace of ideas, a place where everybody can learn from everybody. You can write about your academic niche, or your favorite book or TV series, you can talk about your nation and its lore, or your region, you can talk about TEP government, or the WA, or issues.

UTEP is a place where your interests in TEP and NS can meet your other interests. We want you to share your passion, your knowledge, your ideas. We want to share our own with you. Over the course of my Chancellorship we will be making the works of UTEP more readily accessible and will be soliciting more works from people like you. But why wait? You can start by reading or creating a topic in the UTEP category of the TEP forums here:

In continuing with the Star Wars related traditions of the University Chancellors of ages past, I quote, “We would be honored, if you would join us.”

Ex Oriente Lux,
Aivintis
Chancellor of the University of The East Pacific
