Unlike the “Ghostbusters” movies¸ when someone is in trouble at NIU¸ Larry Bolles and his staff are the ones being called. The Office of Judicial Affairs¸ directed by Bolles¸ serves the NIU community when a student has been accused of violating the student code of conduct. Bolles explained that it is his job to “see that our students are afforded due process when they are accused of something.”

Serving in his role at NIU for more than 25 years¸ Bolles said he has seen some strange cases. One time¸ he explained¸ a student kept a boa constrictor in his room against the rules. The snake escaped and crawled through the vent into another room. The student in the next room had been drinking and thought there was a monster looking at him through the vent. He told Bolles he would never drink again.
