Article V: Proposed Judicial Changes

Section 1: Review of Draft and Proposed Judicial Changes

A.

Proposed judicial changes shall consist of the following:

  1. Amendments to the Judicial Charter, which require US approval.
  2. New or modified Judicial Board By-Laws, which may be vetoed by the US.
  3. New or modified provisions of the Student Conduct Penalty Code, which may be vetoed by the US.
  4. Any other changes related to the University judicial process, which require the approval of, or may be vetoed by, the US.

B.

Draft judicial changes shall consist of non-finalized versions of any potential proposed judicial change, i.e. those which have not yet been formally approved by the relevant judicial body.

C.

Judicial Review Committee

  1. Upon receipt of a notice of a draft or proposed judicial change, the US shall form a Judicial Review Committee, hereafter referred to as a JRC. The JRC shall consist of all US members interested in reviewing the judicial changes.
  2. The JRC shall select its own Chair and determine its own procedures.
  3. The JRC is encouraged to contact the judicial body proposing the judicial changes to discuss any concerns that arise, particularly if it plans to recommend that the judicial changes be rejected. In the latter case, the JRC is encouraged to work with the relevant judicial body to develop mutually acceptable revisions of the judicial changes.
  4. The JRC shall report back to the US in a timely manner with its recommendations for the judicial changes, along with the reasons for the recommendations. If the JRC recommends that a judicial change should be vetoed, the recommendation should include a description of the modifications that would be required for the JRC to recommend approval.
