In the Curry Student Center threatening shouts are heard coming from two freshmen boys. The boys are ripped apart, and now face judgment by their peers in University Court. The court is composed of student volunteers who are replaced every quarter. Those who serve spring quarter stay on through the summer. The court system gives students an opportunity to have their cases heard by their peers, Beratta said.
Punishments vary with the degree of the offense.
They range from a letter of warning to expulsion from Northeastern. During every activity period, the court justices listen to various cases and decide if the students should be found guilty. However, the University Court is not a court of law. It is the system used by Northeastern to punish students who violate the university's codes of conduct. I love being a court justice.
