Aggravating and Mitigating Factors. Aggravating factors are circumstances that increase the severity of the impact of the directive violation. Mitigating factors are circumstances that do not excuse or justify the conduct but decrease the severity of the impact of the directive violation. *Aggravating or mitigating factors are applied only after the sustained finding(s) for the totality of the conduct found and after any due process meeting. These factors are only used to alter a corrective action level. Aggravating and mitigating factors do not alter the category of conduct.
