The First Year Judiciary Committee elected first-year College students John Connolly and Sumedha Deshmukh as Chair and Vice-Chair of FYJC, the University Judiciary Committee announced Sunday.
Connolly said he hoped to learn about the UJC process from the Executive Committee, which includes the UJC Chair, Vice-Chairs and senior support staff, and improve FYJC’s work during the year.
“The goal is to learn from the example of the Executive Committee and senior leadership on UJC to try and become more autonomous as the year goes on and try and build consensus [among FYJC members],” Connolly said.
Deshmukh spoke several times about the importance of considering each case and each student separately during trial.
“Whatever is best for the student in the specific case [is our focus],” Deshmukh said. “There are plenty of people who are exercising their best judgment.”
