The Millsaps Judicial System has been put in place to ensure the protection and preservation
of the academic environment on campus where all students are free to pursue their
educational goals. The system is educational in that it encourages students to become better
citizens and live up to the higher standard of behavior expected of all Millsaps students.
The Millsaps Judicial System is not intended to mirror that of any court system. The policies
and procedures used are not meant to resemble those in the criminal process. There is a
fundamental difference in the nature of student discipline and that of criminal law. Student
discipline is meant to maintain a positive living and learning environment. The process is
designed to help students make positive choices for themselves, choosing self-responsibility
instead of submitting to peer-pressure, and to challenge them to accept responsibility for any
negative choices. |
