So a few years ago I was railroaded by my university's fake court when I pissed off the hall director of my dorms. I presented a pretty convincing case (I should have. I spent 3 months preparing it) and still was found "In violation" of a whole laundry list of fake charges. I appealed to every possible individual finally reaching the President of the University who overturned the entire thing and expunged my record. The Dean of Students didn't have her contract renewed the following year over this issue.
So fast forward to this year and I heard that they were taking applications for Justices for the same board. Being the smartass I am, I applied... and was subsequently ACCEPTED!
Still, despite being on the board all year, I only just recently sat on my first case.
I can't be terribly specific since I swore an oath (read: Promised) not to. However, the end result was that of 9 justices, the 3 Criminal Justice (Law Enforcement and Corrections) majors including myself dissented because we didn't feel there was enough evidence. The 6 justices who, not only found him in violation, but threw the book at him, I believe were Poly-Sci majors. I find this humorous because people in Law Enforcement and Corrections are typically conservative leaning and people in Poly-Sci are typically Liberal leaning and it was the Criminal Justice majors who were fighting against a "Hang-em-high" outcome.
I suppose that Criminal Justice - Poly-Sci dichotomy proves true for me as well since I majored in Criminal Justice and minored in Political Science and find myself more moderate with conservative leanings. |
