is now an 'ex officio' office of college
chief justices, who have duties in
their own college courts.
The report said restructuring the
court would provide continuity of
membership and enable members to
gain experience and perspective,
which would help provide "the kind
of visibility, integrity, and respect
long enjoyed by the Honor Council."
College Courts
The report also addressed con-
cerns about variations in the severity
of penalties imposed by college
courts for similar violations. The
committee suggested that close per-
sonal relationships between justices
and fellow college members make it
difficult for justices to be objective
and firm.
The committee said this seemed
especially true in "enforcement of
unpopular University Rules, notably
the alcohol policy." To remedy this,
the policy will be removed from the
jurisdiction of the college courts.
Barrett said he hoped moving
jurisdiction to the University Court
would encourage respect for the
policy. The report said the rapid turn-
over of justices was as bad for the
college courts as for the University
Court.
The report also suggested that in-
terchanges among the college
courts and the University Court, as
well as leadership from the proctor,
could remedy the concern.
The Report and the Committee
The report opened by stating its
principal recommendations and fol-
lowed with supporting and rationale,
ending with a revised Judicial Code
and a provisional Constitution of the
University Court.
A small section was devoted to
problems not addressed by the
committee, such as those in which
unidentified members of a college
cause property destruction. Con-
cerns of graduate students over oc-
casional unfairness by faculty were
also mentioned.
The committee urged that these
