The one office that you never want to find yourself in has become easier to locate.

The University Judicial Office, which is in charge of disciplining students and enforcing the judicial code, has moved from the depths of Neptune’s basement to a space in the Campus Life Building.

Director Larry Bolles and his staff now are housed in CLB, Suite 280, and Bolles couldn’t be happier about it.

“We needed an office where students can feel comfortable and we can conduct business in a warm, pleasant environment,” he said. “People can now come to a professional-looking facility.”

The decision to move was made by Provost Ivan Legg, Gary Gresholdt, vice provost of student affairs, and Fred Schwantes, associate vice provost.

“They made the decision and we are very grateful that they did,” Bolles said. “We had been trying to get out of Neptune for a long time.”

Gresholdt said it wasn’t that difficult of a decision.

“I think the space they were in previously wasn’t really adequate for their program,” he said.

One benefit is that private conversations now are, in fact, private.

“The walls [at the old location] were not insulated, but here they are and that allows for private conversations to stay private,” Bolles said. “It also had heating and cooling problems.”

One problem was lack of awareness. Some students were continuing to show up to Neptune as recently as last Wednesday.

Location wasn’t the only change that the office made. Because of budget cuts, a full-time judicial officer position was converted into two graduate assistant positions.

“I didn’t give up anything in terms of professionalism and official hours,” Bolles said.
