Disciplinary Panel

---

The Disciplinary Panel met during the summer and autumn to hear charges against students referred to it by the Discipline Committee. In one case, a student from SOC who was found guilty of a range of anti-social and inconsiderate behaviour towards fellow residents in campus accommodation, and towards security staff, was fined £100. The student was also given a suspended sentence of permanent expulsion and will not be permitted in future to reside in University-managed accommodation.

In another case, a postgraduate student from ENGG was found guilty of misusing University computing facilities by viewing and downloading materials not in connection with his studies or research or work for the University, and in breach of University computer regulations. The student was bound over to be of good behaviour against a surety of £100 and reprimanded.

In a recent hearing of the Panel, two undergraduates, from EAM and CCS, were found guilty of burglary of a campus shop. One student was fined £125 and the other was fined £100. In addition, they were each bound over to good behaviour for the remainder of their University career against a surety of £100, required to pay £65 damages and to write a letter of apology to the shop manager.
