So we want CLC to be more like the first 2 years of the 4-year experience?

To this question? DO we? Really?

Then let us start with the Students Rights & responsibilities Handbook thing.

Do we really want to curtail the Appeal Process already in place?

No.

Should we expand the judicial Process of CLC to be more reflective of the first 2 years of a 4 year college?

I say: Yes.

Here's why:

Northern Illinois University
The Student Code of Conduct
(Effective August 8, 2006)

In general, what you may have read (after perusing NIU's Student Code of Conduct), really means: When at all possible, put the responsibility on the Student Organization for Judicial matters, and leave the smaller Club issues to a more general governing body - in our case, our SGA. In the latter case presented here, the SGA could form a Judicial committee to handle the small problems. But, if the Student Newspaper, or if CLC's Phi Theta Kappa chapter member commits a gaf, then an ad hoc group formed from non-infractors via the Chapter membership could adjudicate and form an opinion.

Now, you know you want to read the example set by NIU.

Really?

Yes.

Still not convinced cha-chi? How about this quote from the document:

"In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, a student
may inspect and review his/her judicial file upon request to the Judicial Affairs [Office - to be interpreted as: or any person or body in charge of such a file]."

Then again, this isn't news to those of us who have been trained in the FERPA.

Apologising on behalf of NIU, as far as typos go, even NIU can make a mistake like a typo once per academic year, I believe. That typo is no worse than CLC's own recent, "[a body] determined that decisions will be discussed and decided in [a time frame chosen]". Holy Crap, Batman, that doesn't even make any sense; the Riddler has done it again.

WARNING: When comparing the wording of NIU's version and CLC's version, many similarities were found. Copy/Paste. Although this method was delineated at meetings, mere declaration of copying does not constitute permission of same.

Decisions will be discussed and decided? I truly don't believe the horrific logic/grammar implied in this puzzle, but I thin I know what the person was trying to say.
