Burgio Ponders Judicial Reforms
By JEREMY G. BURTON | Nov. 5, 2004With less than two months left in the semester, the Student Association E-board is turning its attention to several student affairs issues, starting with the Student-Wide Judiciary.According to SA President Anthony Burgio, there are several SWJ rules and procedures he would like to see changed so that the judicial process works better and is fairer for undergraduates."Basically, the process needs to be more open, more clear, and refined with the needs and rights of students in mind," Burgio said."I think we have to be careful about the notion that just because we're college students, we should be treated differently when charged with a crime," he added.One SWJ change already in the works is to abolish what is called burden of proof, a move supported by both Burgio and SWJ Chief Justice Jodi McGrath.According to McGrath, burden of proof means the weight is on the accused students to prove their innocence."It does put an unfair burden on the defendant, when that's really supposed to be on the university," she said.
