Last fall the students sumbitted five reforms to the Faculty, including equalizing student-faculty composition, prohibiting legal counsel if both parties agree allowing the release of transcripts if both parties agree, establishing a board of appeals, and barring hearsay evidence...
...Council considered no other reforms or alternative foreign studies programs, nor did it inform CUE student members that their lengthy committee debates were pointless. Steven C. Gold '81, a CUE student member says, "What annoys me is the way we found out about it--entirely hearsay. No one bothered to tell us." James Henderson '80, another CUE student member, says the Council vote took CUE by surprise.

Although lawyers may not represent students at future CRR hearings, it is likely that University charges against students will be investigated and drafted, by high-priced lawyers in the University's Office of the General Counsel, as they...
