University of Virginia Library

Judiciary Approval

The Judiciary Committee has
been the body before which cases
involving misuse of the library
have come. It has been our experience,
verified by the Honor
Committee report, that negligence
rather than theft is the predominant
explanation for unrecorded
book withdrawals. For this reason,
the Judiciary Committee endorses
the check point proposal and urges
that the University Community
view the new system as an effort
to promote maximum library efficiency
rather than a manifestation
of student distrust.
