TO THE EDITOR:
I was surprised Thursday morning while reading The Daily Tar Heel in Lenoir to find out that the Honor Court resembles a campus version of Scarecrow’s court in “The Dark Knight Rises.” From the article by Bradley Saacks, “Honor Court penalties for DWI vary,” I gleaned that the Honor Court:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-dJPoSlPfU // http://www.dailytarheel.com/article/2016/04/honor-court-penalties-for-dwi-vary AL
1. Ignores precedent altogether.
2. Punishes students for DWIs regardless of whether they have been convicted of any crime by the actual judicial system.
3. Determines the severity of punishment for equivalent crimes, in part, using the student’s financial aid status.
In winter, do they sentence guilty students to walk over icy bricks near the Pit?
