APRIL MEETING, 1971

(7) When slates of nominees equal to the number of vacancies to be filled have been approved as provided
in paragraph (6), above, the slates shall be transmitted to the Regents for their final approval. Such
final approval shall constitute appointment to the
University Court of Appeals.
(8) If the University Court of Appeals is unable to act
for lack of members, the University Council in consultation with the President of the University shall
make temporary appointments to fill all vacancies on
the Court. These appointees shall hold office until
they are replaced by the usual selection procedures.
(b) Impeachment: Any member of the University Court of
Appeals may be impeached for cause. Impeachment proceedings
may be initiated only by the Student Government Council, the
Senate Assembly, or the Regents. The University Council shall
then conduct the impeachment proceedings. It shall require an
affirmative vote of at least two students, two faculty, and two
administrative members of the University Council to remove a
member from the University Court of Appeals.
(c) Original Jurisdiction: The University Court of Appeals
shall have original jurisdiction to hear removal actions in cases
involving alleged violation of University Council Regulations or
regulations enacted by other University bodies covering the same
or substantially the same subject matter as University Council
Regulations and where a proceeding has been initiated in a judiciary or other dispute-resolving body not authorized by this
Judicial System.
(d) Appellate Jurisdiction: The University Court of Appeals
shall hear all appeals properly arising out of any judicial proceeding or arbitration within the subject matter jurisdiction of the
University Judicial System. The appeal shall be heard only by
members of the University Court of Appeals who did not sit as
Associate Judges in the case being appealed. The University Court
of Appeals may, upon making appropriate findings, sustain the
decision in question, remand the case appealed for additional proceedings, reverse the conviction, or reduce the penalty imposed by
the University Trial Court or Arbitrator, but under no circumstances shall the University Court of Appeals increase the severity
of the penalty, or reverse a final determination of not guilty. Appeals not inconsistent with this paragraph or any other provision
governing this Judicial System may be taken by either the Complainant or the Defendant to the extent provided in any relevant
University Council Regulation and/or the Manual of Procedure.
