World News 11 The Carroll News www.jcunews.com Feb. 2, 2012 UN meets to discuss resolution on violence in REISER’S Syria and Assad’s resignation The United Nations Security Council is meeting to debate whether to adopt a draft EDGE resolution on Syria. The council is deciding whether to adopt an Arab League plan calling for an end to violence and for President Bashar al-Assad to stand down. Qatar’s prime minister urged council members to take action against what he called Assad’s “killing machine.” Russia says the plan amounts to regime change and could lead to civil war – it is expected to veto the resolution. “I don’t think Russian policy is about asking people to step down,” Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told the council. The UN estimates more than 5,400 people have been killed since the unrest began last March. More than 100 people were reported to have been killed across the country on Monday and at least 37 people on Michael Reiser Tuesday, say rights groups.

Editorial 17 The Carroll News www.jcunews.com Feb. 2, 2012 Editorial Trial by judge Beginning this semester, the Office of Residence Life and the Dean of Students have changed the process stu- dents go through if they are written up in residence halls. Student Union Hearing Board will still be responsible for part of the ruling, but area coordinators will now be involved in the process. Previously violations were sent directly to the hearing board. The aim of this change is to build a relationship between the residents and the area coordinators. The hope is that this will make more of a learning experience out of disciplinary action and consequently decrease the likelihood of violations occurring again. When a rule is violated, the point of discipline is to enforce the idea that breaking the rules has consequences. Sanctions are in place to dissuade violators from repeating the wrong action. However, this message is sometimes not powerful enough. By talking with residents instead of just punishing them, a more personal and direct impact will be placed on students, which will accomplish the goal of this change. When making this change, Student Union was not Cartoon by Emily Day originally involved in the process. This goes against what Residence Life and the Dean of Students hope to accom- plish by showing a disconnect between the students and NOTABLE QUOTABLE administration and the governing bodies of the student body. By decreasing the influence of the hearing board in decisions, the perspective of students is being removed “How you like me now, FEC? [...] I’m rolling seven from the decision making process.
