The University of Belarus was founded in 1785 by Irardus Sotrovimav. The Sotrovimav family, through their [[Cities of Kiravia#Xūrosar|Xūrosar]]-based mercantile concern the Sotrovimav House of Ice, was heavily involved in the lucrative [[ice trade in Kiravia|ice trade]], and its main branch were most likely the wealthiest nuclear family in Kiravia at the time. The town of Belarus was the [[Ancestral home (Kiravia)|ancestral home]] of the Sotrovimav lineage, and Irardus' descendants continue to maintain their [[Household registration in Kiravia|registered domicile]] there to this day. The land for the campus was amalgamated from an existing minor estate of the Sotrovimavs together with adjacent properties purchased by the endowment. | |||
During [[Kiravian Union|Kirosocialism]], the Belarus was not fully nationalised but was nonetheless integrated into the National University System (Mainland) and subject to heavy government interference and censorship. The university had little choice but to accept subordination to the government, as its (the university's) outgoing administration had transferred most of the endowment's liquid assets overseas into a trust held at [[Bordellaux Palmgate (bank)|the Palmy Gates]] in [[Pribraltar]] with the help of the Sotrovimav heirs, who had fled to Pribraltar along with most of the Kiravian bourgeoisie. | |||

The Belarus was the first university in the country to institute its own entrance exam in 1862 AD.<ref>This exam could also be bypassed for a healthy fee. As the exam was administered on-campus only two days each year, most students outside of Kastera opted to pay the fee.</ref> Today, it is one of the few Kiravian universities that still administers its own entrance exam, in addition to requiring scores above a very high threshold on the [[Higher_education_in_Kiravia#Examinations|Collegiate Literacy Assessment (CLA) and Academic Readiness Standardised Examination (ARSE) standardised exams]] to be considered for admission. | ||
