Last Sunday, the University Judiciary Council chose fourth-year College student Teddy Kristek to fill a vacant representative slot. Kristek served for about two years as a counselor before assuming the representative role.
UJC representatives serve as judges and are responsible for running UJC trials and deciding sanctions.
UJC Chair David Ensey said he interviewed 15 candidates for the position and recommended Kristek for the job because of his ability to break down cases and explain the reasoning behind sanctions he decided on.
“Teddy’s interest in the position wasn’t driven by status but by the desire for service,” Ensey said. “Teddy articulated very clearly that that service is both [to] the University community as a whole as well as to the student at the trial the UJC also needs to serve.”
Kristek said transitioning to his new role was easier because of his prior experience.
“It’s a lot easier because I know the logistics,” Kristek said. “I think that it’s easier for someone transitioning in house.”
UJC now has 24 of 25 representative slots filled — only one of the two representative slots for the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences was filled through election last school year.
