Lee Jackson is all about education.

And as one of two candidates for the position of student chief justice, it’s something she said she sees as one of her main goals.

“I really have a strong desire to get the board out on campus,” Jackson said. “We can be more active in getting people engaged.”

Jackson said she hopes to begin programs that will increase awareness of the Judicial Board and its practices all over campus.

“Informed students lead to better decisions,” she said.

One of these programs, like reenactments of actual cases, will help remove the veil of secrecy surrounding the Judicial Board hearings — kept that way by law to protect the privacy of the individual.

Things like this can also help branches among the Student Government to understand each other, she said.

“Senate does not have an accurate picture because they don’t know what we do,” Jackson said. “It’s hard to tell them because we’re so confidential.”

She said she hopes to maintain the current burden of proof required to find students guilty of a code of conduct violation, which states evidence against students must be “clear and convincing.”

Board members under this standard must be 75 percent sure a student is guilty.

“I like it because it’s middle road,” she said.

If the standard is any lower, she said, it would be unfair to students. Any higher, however, and it could affect the quality of education at the University.

“Academic integrity could deteriorate because you let people slide through,” she said.

Jackson is a junior in materials science and engineering and has served on the board since fall 2004.
