Title: Mad with power they told me....
Post by: Guest on September 13, 2006, 02:29:14 PM: Great news all

As of today I am the Jr. Chairperson of an ethics committee at a prestigious law school.
Finally I can pass substantive judgment on my fellow man.

The tasks of the position are writing the rules of student conduct, interpreting the rules of student conduct& and my favorite: passing judgment on those who fail to abide by them. Judgment ranges from write a letter of apology to part time or full banishment. Entry into the legal profession has a moral component (HA), which gives leeway for such seemingly extreme punishments. By decree of the committee, which I shall chair, actions in violation of the student codes of conduct can be deemed as indicative of moral turpitude.

:edit: Great news all --> Great news some

Bwah ahha hah ah ha hah haaaaa

Post by: Werewolf on September 13, 2006, 04:15:35 PM: So what you're saying is you now have the power to destroy a fellow student's chosen career just because he or she behaves in a manner not consistent with what you and a few others believe is appropos!

How delightful...

NOT!

Now fistful... name calling doesn't at all seem consistent with our established code of conduct. See section 14 subsection 8 part 3 (b). You should think about what you've done, write an open letter of apology, and curtsey before the Grand Council! Yes...

I am definatly getting myself a gavel. Makes the grand high old pronouncements of the head high muckety muck seem that much more officiol. And more Latin... LATIN!

In hunc intuens. --> Hey, Look at this.

Fidem fati virtute sequemur! ---> With my own virtue I shall strive to achieve the promise given to me by destiny!

"doesn't at all seem consistent with our established code of conduct. See section 14 subsection 8 part 3 (b)." --> I both write the code and declare its meaning and application. With Mike stepping down from the HOA, I do believe this makes me the new dictator on the board.

Post by: Perd Hapley on September 13, 2006, 10:00:05 PM: Well, it just means "Behold, the man," but I thought calling you a homo might come off as an insult, jokingly.

I just thought of a better one, though.

Hard to argue against the 'seeking'... But I like to call it Justice

But if my ex-housemates ever are presented before the glorious tribunal I shall simply excuse myself... after giving sufficient influence to gain my ends of course. I think it hard to argue that those SOBs are not the very embodyment of moral turpitude that our great student conduct code warns about.
