hearings expanding the commit tee's membership broadening the definitions of violations and adding the authority to remove leaders from their offices were proposed in a report last week by the faculty ad hoc committee on discipline under the proposed code faculty and living groups would be notified of disci pline committee verdicts and conclusions if a student is found guilty such notifi cation would include the student's name sanctions imposed against him and a summary of the committee's reasoning a student found not guilty of a violation will have the option of having his name published but in cases of closed hear ings the name of the student will not be published the current interim discipline system approved by the board of trustees last summer upon recommendations from faculty/student task forces " itemized specific violations with which a student could be charged as well as recommend ing specific sanctions however the committee recom mended that this system be forfeited in favor of a system composed of eight broad categories these categories would organize violations according to harm caused toother people property and the order and function of the university this is supposed to make the case offic er's job of charging individuals with vio lations easier in cases where a student's behavior necessitates disciplinary action but a specific charge does not exist likewise the committee proposed increased discretion to the discipline committee to fashion a sanction in indi vidual cases this would mean elimi nating the present system that specifies sanctions according to the violation along these lines the committee recommends that the discipline commit tee be given the authority to require wlvr broadcasts debate restitutions assign work hours service projects and impose fines the disci pline committee currently has this authority in record to groups but not individuals the discipline committee would also have the power to remove any group officer for failing to execute his leader ship duties in cases of corporate responsibility the faculty committee further sug gested that discipline hearings be held open to the university
