Broadening the Disney dialogue

A common cause

HISTORY can tell us a lot. It gives us an idea of who we are by showing where we have been. Its trajectory provides a rough idea of where we are going. But most importantly, history answers our questions.

Finding the right forum

Courting disaster

Charges were dropped yesterday against four members of the managing board who had been accused by Honor Committee Chair Ann Marie McKenzie of violating Standard of Conduct 11, which stipulates that students shall not engage in "intentional, reckless, or negligent conduct which obstructs the operations of the Honor or Judiciary Committee, or conduct that violates their rules of confidentiality." Although the board members whose names have been cleared - Matthew Cameron, Alyssa Juan, Andrew Seidman and Allie Vandivier - are pleased that the complainant has recognized that the charges brought against them were baseless, questions remain about whether the University Judiciary Committee overstepped it boundaries when it agreed to hear this case in the first place. Past controversy involving the UJC, as well as the body's own constitution suggest that it acted erroneously in accepting the charges that were filed against members of the managing board.
