In a contentious demonstration, Supervisor Chris Tuck on Monday night played a pair of video recordings to clarify an issue related to recent comments from the school district’s superintendent about long-existing school crowding problems in Christiansburg.

Marsh Pattie, assistant vice president of student affairs, spoke to the University Judiciary Committee Sunday evening. Pattie was a former member of UJC and was given the responsibility of advising the group this year. Pattie explained his position as advisor to the committee and encouraged members to consider their leadership role in fulfilling the University’s philosophy of student self-governance.   “You have to be able to make mistakes, and to learn from those mistakes and recover from those mistakes,” Pattie said to UJC. “And the heart of what this body does is to hold people accountable for their mistakes, but to do it in a way that is educational, that supports their learning and growth and does protect the community.”
