Undergraduate Judicial Branch

Mission

The Undergraduate Judiciary Cabinet (UJC) is the Judicial Branch of Georgia Tech’s Undergraduate Student Government Association (SGA). UJC consists of several active Justices with a wide variety of majors, class-standings, and backgrounds.

The primary purpose of the UJC is to hear cases of non-academic misconduct that involve Institute undergraduates. When an undergraduate student or organization violates the Student Code of Conduct, that violation gets reported to the Office of Student Integrity (OSI). If there is legitimacy to the violation, OSI proceeds forward with an investigation. After the investigation is complete, the student or organization can elect to have his/hers/their case heard by either (1) a representative of OSI, also known as a Student Conduct Administrator, or (2) the Student Conduct Panel (UJC). The panel conducts a hearing, renders a decision, and makes a recommendation to the Associate Dean/Director of Student Integrity. The Director, after reviewing the case, renders a decision of (1) Not Responsible, which closes the case, or (2) Responsible for one or more violations with an appropriate Sanction(s), as warranted.

The secondary purpose of the UJC is to interpret any and all SGA policy (Constitution, Bylaws, codes, ethics, etc.) and to determine if any actions by the Executive or Legislative Branch are unconstitutional. Additionally, the UJC oversees the SGA elections process and conducts hearings on potential election violations.
