What are the educational programs?

When a Greek organization is required to complete an educational program, it must fund and run the programs itself.

Attendance at the event must exceed 100 individuals that are not related to the organization.

According to Larry Bolles, Director of NIU Judicial Affairs, there are four types of educational programs:

1. Violence

2. Alcohol and Drugs

3. Sexual Assault

4. Civility

Who conducts them and how long do they last?

Bolles or Melissa Williams, the assistant director of NIU Greek Affairs, oversee the programs to make sure they are well-attended and cover an appropriate topic.

What sort of things do they do for community service?

Bolles said his office partners with NIU Grounds, the YMCA of DeKalb County, Hope Haven Homeless shelter in DeKalb, among other organizations, where individuals are required to wash windows, cut grass, work with youth or help in whatever way they are needed.

Who pays fines and what does the money go toward?

Bolles’ office is partially funded by judicial fines, but he said the money is also used to fund events that benefit students on campus.
