Proposals tabled in council
Action on the proposed Stu
dent Codr of Conduct Bdl of
Rl|hu and University Judicial
Committer, vat tabled in tha Oct.
meeting of the University Council
Monday. Oct. S. The motion to
table the proposals came after
debate on srverai o.^ectiooa made
by S.G.A President Ernie Robin-
ton The Bdl of KighU provides
that free inquiry. expression. and
amrmbty as tong aa tbe nghl* of
olhen are not infringed.
Article two of the document
gives students ” Freedom from un
reasonable invasion of the privacy
of the individual'? person, living
quarters, papers, personal effr« uj
and university records " The right/'
to due procea* and equal pro
tectlon under the university—
judicial system M ako guaranteed
Most of the debate on the Hill
of KighU (entered- around article
five which reads. "If a student is
charged with, or convicted of. an
off campus notation of lafc. the
matter is of no disciplinary coo
'em to the institution unless the
student ■ incarcerated and unable
to comply vilh academic require
menu except the institution may
impose sanctions for grave mis
conduct demonstrating flagrant
disregard for the rights of others
In tuch raaea. suspension la not
pern died until tbe rtudvnl has
been adjudged guilty in a court of
lav. and, once a student Is ad
judged guilty in a court of lew tbe
institution may impose sanctions
if it cooatden tbe misconduct to
be so grave ae to demonstrate fla
grant disregard for the rtghU of
others."
Mr Robinson suggested that
article five be deleted, arguing S
that the purpose at the institution
ie to educate and not to discipline
The members of the council were
oov lasoraole to the removal of
the article, however
The Student Code of Conduct
states that "Generally. Institu
tional discipline shall be limited to
conduct which adversely affects
the Institutional community's put
suit of Ka ■durational objectives."
The report included seven ex
amples of such conduct Mr.
Robinson objected to four of
those examples and moved that
they be drilled Me ygurd that
students should kgulale\lhe
specific offerer* that could bnng
a student before tbe Jddirtal
Council
Mr. Kobtnvon. in commenting
on tbe entire report, stated that
"The real importance of the re
port is not In the '.nocture it seeks
Jo create, although that la tmpor
lant. hut rather that m says that
the student* are ready to assume
the responsibility of thrij actions
for themselves. Hi# lime has coma
for the students to realize a ma
ture citizenship role wUhln
