What is your understanding about the process of the University Judicial Council? When violation occurs by an individual or an organization on campus, they will receive notification that they have an intake meeting. At this meeting, the student is able to discuss the incident, to be informed of their rights throughout the process, and to discuss the next steps of the process. At this meeting, the party and the representative of the Office of Conflict Resolution and Student Conduct or Housing will either come to an Administrative Agreement to resolve the case or the party will appeal to the University Judicial Council. The University Judicial Council hearing is not intended to give a heavy-handed, worst punishment possible. The students on the Judicial Council always operate under the premise of “restorative justice.” The hearing in front of the Judicial Council is intended to be educational, not condemning. At the hearing, the complainant and respondent must support and respond themselves; …show more content…
I applied for and joined Freshman Council, pursued leadership roles in my Greek Organization, and supported various campaigns throughout the year. Wrapping up my Freshman year, I though I had made the decision to not continue my involvement in the Associated Student Body. I wanted to continue to support my friends and others on ASB, but I did not see a place for me on it. I have been exposed to many people on ASB that use it as a resume booster, or other purposes, rather than just a genuine desire to serve the student body. It is not that I did not like ASB, or felt negatively towards it; I simply did not feel my personality fit in with the parts of ASB that I was around. I wanted to continue in a calmer, behind the scenes environment in my social Greek Organization and my business fraternity. When I attended the debate, I had a change of
Ward’s request unethical and Mrs. Ward’s unwillingness to change her position necessitated an informal review. That review included the academic supervisor along with the practicum supervisor and the student. Offered to the student were three options: complete a remediation plan, resign from the Counseling program, or request a university formal review. The university’s Formal Review Committee consisting of one student and two professors, all from the Counseling Department and one professor from the Education Leadership Department, determined she violated the university’s code of ethics and therefore was dismissed her from the Counseling Program. The dismissal led to the first court case, Ward v. Willbanks. The trial court ruled in favor of Eastern Michigan University (EMU) through summary judgment. Mrs. Ward appealed the case to the state appellate court, who reversed the decision and returned the case to the lower court for adjudication. Judicial adjudication was avoided, however, as the university settled with Mrs. Ward with a monetary payment and the removal of the expulsion from her
Robert Duffley, a high school senior at Trinity High School, had withdrawn from his sophomore year early in the first semester after falling ill. Anticipating problems with his eligibility to participate in high-school sports during his senior year under certain NHIAA rules, Duffley’s principal sought a ruling from the NHIAA granting such eligibility. The NHIAA decided to allow Duffley to participate only during the first semester of his senior year. No reason was given for denying Duffley eligibility for the second semester. After unsuccessful appeals to the NHIAA executive council, Duffley filed a petition in the Superior Court, seeking equitable and injunctive relief. Duffley alleged "violation of his due process rights” and that the defendant had acted “arbitrarily and capriciously” in arriving at its decision, which was “unreasonable and unlawful."
Some students in School had big issues, like Doug Hann. Hann was a student from Brown University, and varsity football player at the University. He was living in the dorms at the University. He was expelled from the university for doing bulling to the black people. In October 18, 1990, Hann was screaming bad words towards the black people, he was celebrating his birthday and he was drunk. It was not the first time that Hann was caught saying inappropriate words to the people, 2 years before he was drunk at one bar and he curse scream words to a black people. So the president Gregorian from the University in January 25, 1991 affirmed the expelled decision by the Undergraduate Disciplinary Council. In my opinion,

Student Government has always been an important aspect throughout my educational years, because I’ve always portrayed myself as a leader. I think that transferring to an HBCU will allow me to feel comfortable and confident while leading an empowering student body. Greek Life has always been at the top of my list for when I would attend and HBCU Being a Soror, in an HBCU, would allow me to do my civic duties and responsibilities, and gain a spot in an unbreakable

During one of our class sessions we discussed the different areas within the criminal justice system. The topic of courts and sentencing specifically of juveniles was mentioned. As we get to know the inside students we learn some of their backstory of how they ended up at Joseph Harp Correctional Facility, many of them had their first contact with the criminal justice system as a juvenile. Several of the inside students expressed animosity toward the courts when it came to sentencing of juveniles. They thought that some of the ways juveniles are sentenced is too harsh.

Day in and day out we hear about high school and college students wanting to pursue a sorority and/or a fraternity based on the stereotypes these organizations uphold, well I chose to differ. I told myself if I ever decided to become a member of a sorority it would be based solely on their ethical standards, history, and values they are founded upon. Alpha Kappa Alpha, Incorporated consists of ladies of distinction and exemplary character who excel in scholarship, leadership, and service, which are qualities I have chosen to uphold. From my perspective, I encourage myself to maintain a respectable appearance and reputation which doing so inspires me to embrace my self-concept; which helps me confidently excel academically and professionally as a “lady of distinction” and “exemplary character.” Most importantly, I continuously remain involved in community service, being involved allows me the opportunity to learn and understand the lives and circumstances of others by opening my mind, heart, and soul. Overall these qualities strengthen my passion to be a member of the prestigious Alp...
Second violation occurred on campus at the library. There are booths for students to sit in and study with their friends and classmates. I decided to join these two students that were studying together by quietly sitting in the booth with them. They seemed to hesitate to even talk to me, but I was
I am writing this essay to represent my knowledge of the current school residential rules and regulations that I have broken on multiple occasions. I was told to write this essay due to my lack of education on the rules regarding residential life guest and visitation, residential lif noise quiet hours violations, residential life keys and registration, and residential life compliance which lead to me breaking the rule on campus. On November 18th, 2015, the UMBC peer review council met to hear my case arising from my November 4, 2015 charge letter. Here I was found guilty for all the charges against me. On this campus, my main focus should be to do well in my classes and learn from my experiences. Causing trouble throughout residential buildings should not be a part of any of the action that I have came to school for. To show my understanding of the rules and regulations that I have broken I will state the rules I have went against and show I have went against them, I will also state the consequences given to me and show how these incidents have affected my life on campus directly.
