The University Judiciary Committee, in a joint effort with the Office of the Dean of Students, added two new community service sanction locations during its weekly meeting Sunday.
The University's Facilities Management Department and Parking and Transportation Department are now community service locations that University students may be assigned to when sanctioned by the committee for violating one of the committee's 12 standards of conduct, UJC Chair Michael Chapman said.
Work for Facilities Management will be seasonal, based on supervisors' needs and possibly include jobs like raking leaves or collecting trash, Vice Chair for Sanctions Eric Schneiter said. Students will maintain and clean University buses when working for the Parking and Transportation Department, he said.
"We are all about helping to re-educate students in that 'Yes, you made a mistake, and yes, there are consequences,'" Chapman said. "But in those consequences you are able to give back. That's something that the UJC really wants [students] to do, to go back and help the community that they may have made a mistake in before."
In addition to the Office of the Dean of Students, UJC worked with the University's Center for Alcohol and Substance Education and University Housing to establish the new sanction locations, Chapman said.
