Code Of Conduct
Reactions to last spring's strike
resulted in an administration-created
Code of Conduct.
Objecting to the Code on the
grounds that it was not written by
students, Student Council
composed its own statement on
student rights and accountabilities
and presented it to the Board of
Visitors in February. The Board
recommended that the whole issue
be referred to the Student Affairs
Office.
Mr. Williams proposed that a
"blue ribbon" committee be
formed to deal with the concept of
whether students should be given
authority to set their own standards
of conduct.
Having received no formal
communication about the
formation of a committee from Mr.
Williams since February, Student
Council voted in early May to
create their own committee to deal
with the situation. Finally Mr.
Williams took action last week by
appointing 14 members of the
University Community to the Ad
Hoc Committee on Student Rights
and Accountabilities. While only
initial statements from the
committee are expected this
semester, it is hoped a general
statement will be made next Fall.
D. Alan Williams
VP of Student Affairs
In other actions dealing with last
spring's strike, Charlottesville
Commonwealth's Attorney John T.
Camblos announced in January that
charges against the 68 University
students arrested during the
demonstrations were dropped.
