Mountain Lake

Tom Collier, Student Council President, said
that this committee will meet at Mountain Lake
during the weekend of September 17.

Mr. Collier stated that "the first thing the
committee will examine is whether students
have the right to make their own Code of
Conduct."

The Board of Visitors' Code of Conduct
provides for interim suspension, a temporary
suspension of those who interfere "with the
orderly process of the University." Mr. Collier
felt that this type of suspension, which is not
provided for in the Code of Conduct passed by
the Students, will be the major topic of
discussion at the Mountain Lake Conference
along with minor details.

The Judiciary Committee which imposes
penalties they deem appropriate for offenses
under the Code of Conduct, uses as a guide the
rules for University students which existed
before the Code of Conduct.

According to the regulations adopted by the
Board of Visitors, the Judiciary Committee
may impose seven types of penalties according
to the severity of the case. They are
admonition, warning, reprimand, disciplinary
probation, restitution, suspension, and
expulsion. All cases are subject to review by
the President or his appointed delegate.

The members of the Student Rights and
Accountabilities Committee are Daniel Meador,
a lawyer, who is the chairman; Annette Gibbs,
Associate Dean of Students and Vice-Chairman
of the committee; and Carolle Gardner, a
delegate from the Office of the President of the
University.
