April 3, 1997 Minutes

Meeting Minutes April 3, 1997 11:00 - 12:00 160A Day Hall

Attending Members: David Delchamps, Faculty; Errol Dominquez, Graduate Student; Gregory Heibel, Graduate Student; Michael Kazarinoff, Faculty; Barbara Krause, JA, Ex-Officio; Ellis Loew, Faculty, Kenna Madigan, Secretary, Staff; Kathleen Rourke, Chair, Staff; Andra Schnabolk, Undergraduate Student.

The meeting was called to order at 11:00 a.m. by Kathleen Rourke, Chair, CJC with a quorum present.

Kathleen reported that the University Assembly has passed our resolution to delete the term “alternate” when referring to CJC members. The Assembly voted unanimously and this now gives all CJC members full committee privileges.

Kathleen also reported that our public lewdness language has also been approved by the University Assembly and the President’s Office.

A brief discussion was held regarding an Ex-Officio member from University Counsel’s office being present during CJC meetings. The Counsel’s office is still reviewing this request as well as the working draft of the reorganized code that Kathleen and Barbara worked on this past summer.

The pepper spray issue was revisited. After the recent University open forum on pepper spray, it was decided that pepper spray seems not to be a real issue for the campus community. Therefore, it was decided that this matter be officially closed on behalf of our committee.

A brief review was had regarding the hearing/judicial board interviews which will be held the week of April 14, 1997. If there are additional questions, please give Kathleen a call.

Barbara Krause brought the non-registered student issue back to the table for discussion. After a lengthy discussion, the following language has been adopted to present to the Assembly for a campus code change:

Persons not officially registered shall be considered students if they are:

  • currently enrolled in or taking classes; or
  • in connection with academic activities, currently using University facilities or property or the property of a University-related residential organization.

The above language was passed by a unanimous vote by the CJC. Annie Dykes will place this on the agenda for the next University Assembly meeting.

New business: None.

The next meeting will be Thursday, April 24, 1997 at 11:00 in Room 163A to discuss the results of the hearing/judicial board interviews and rankings and any remaining business.

The meeting was adjourned at 11:50 a.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Kenna Madigan Secretary
