University looking to change student judicial process

Story here. Excerpt:

'Students at the University of Tennessee could soon see a new kind of punishment.

In 2013, a team of people from UT and other institutions reviewed the Office of Student Judicial Affairs and the punishment process.
...
The team made 39 recommendations at the conclusion of the review, and 35 of those are up for approval for the 2015-2016 school year.

"I think that when, decades ago, when student codes of conduct were developed, they were really modeled after the legalistic or the criminal process that's used," Carilli said. "Clearly, from an educational perspective, that's not the way to involve education or infuse education into the process."

Moving forward, Carilli said the university is looking to adopt an educational or developmental judicial process so students can better learn from their mistakes, as opposed to simply receiving a punitive punishment.

"Our goal is to make sure that students learn from the process, and if they learn from the process, that they won't make the same mistakes twice," he said.'
