Administering justice

Two nights ago, the University Judiciary Committee threw out charges against Cavalier Daily Editor-in-Chief Jason Ally because "the exercise of journalistic and editorial functions by student groups" is exempt from the body's jurisdiction. This decision was consistent with how the body's constitution has been interpreted since at least 1985, when a faculty-led panel failed in its attempt to grant the UJC authority to hear cases dealing with student media organizations. Yet this week's ruling casts a pall of uncertainty upon The Cavalier Daily and other student groups because it establishes that jurisdiction decisions can be settled in UJC trial settings, which are not bound by precedent.
